Henderson (illness) was among the substitutes during Tuesday's international matchup between England and Japan after regaining full health.
Analysis: Henderson was forced to miss just one game due to the ailment, and he should be expected to regain a starting spot over Walter Benitez for his club's upcoming meeting with Newcastle. Henderson was very busy over his most recent Premier League appearances, averaging 3.8 saves per game in 2026 while earning three clean sheets over 11 matches in that span.
Still dealing with illness
Henderson (illness) is out for Thursday's match against Larnaca, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Dean Henderson, unfortunately, not. He is still unwell. So we've decided he will stay in London."
Analysis: Henderson is still not going to be with his club after he was dealt an illness, with the goalie still unable to recover fitness. Unfortunately for the club, they are without their starting keeper, who has no signs of a return yet, staying back in London and is likely to be questionable for Saturday's match against Manchester City as well. Walter Benitez will be set to start in net for a second straight game, making his debut for the club in league action over the weekend.
Out with illness
Henderson is out for Sunday's match against Leeds United due to illness, according to Bobby Manzi of News Shopper.
Analysis: Henderson is not in the net for Palace on Sunday as they face Leeds, missing out due to a late illness. This forces Walter Benitez into net for the time being, his first start with the club. Henderson is unlikely to miss much more time, probably returning midweek for Conference League action.
Concedes once Thursday
Henderson made three saves and allowed one goal in Thursday's 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Henderson conceded a goal to Dominic Solanke in the 34th minute Thursday, but a Micky van de Ven straight red card just four minutes later gave Henderson an easy rest of the match. He finished the contest with three saves, bringing him up to 19 over his last three starts. He faces another favorable matchup Sunday versus Leeds, a side which has scored 37 goals through 29 matches this season.
Nine saves in loss
Henderson recorded nine saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 49th minute.
Analysis: Henderson stopped nine of the 11 shots he faced during Sunday's clash and it still wasn't enough to earn the draw. The goalkeeper was truly brilliant throughout the match, but he just didn't get the goal support he needed from the team in front of him. Henderson will hope to build on this excellent showing moving forward.
Penalty save highlights clean sheet
Henderson registered seven saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Henderson starred in goal with a season-best seven saves to claim his 10th clean sheet, including a key penalty denial against Tolu Arokodare. He handled heavy pressure in the first half with five saves before the contest shifted after the opposition were reduced to 10 men around the hour. A tougher challenge comes Sunday against in-form Manchester United.
Concedes three goals
Henderson recorded one save and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus Burnley.
Analysis: Henderson made just one save and conceded three goals in Wednesday's loss to Burnley. The goalkeeper is going through a difficult stretch, recording just two clean sheets over his last 12 appearances while making 34 saves and allowing 21 goals during that span. He will look to bounce back in the upcoming Premier League match at home against Wolves.
Keeps clean sheet
Henderson made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Brighton.
Analysis: Henderson only made two saves but that was enough in a 1-0 win over Brighton. The veteran goalkeeper should be able to have a good chance at another clean sheet in his next match against Burnley, a team which averages just one goal per game in EPL play.
Concedes early in draw
Henderson allowed a goal while making no saves during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Henderson allowed the opening goal of the match after five minutes, but held Forest from there as Palace came from behind for a point. The keeper has allowed six goals while combining for seven saves over his last three starts. Forest head to Palace for their next match Sunday.
Allows three to Chelsea
Henderson recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Chelsea.
Analysis: Henderson allowed three goals to Chelsea Sunday, making just two saves in the loss. Since his four clean sheets in five appearances, the keeper has since made just one clean sheet in the last nine PL appearances, totaling 31 saves while allowing 17 goals in that span. He will travel to Nottingham for the next league clash on Feb 1, who have scored seven goals in the last five contests.
Five saves in defeat
Henderson had five saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Sunderland.
Analysis: Henderson repelled five of seven Sunderland shots on goal Saturday and made two clearances as Crystal Palace fell in a 2-1 road defeat to Sunderland. Across his last five league appearances (five starts), the veteran keeper has averaged 4.2 saves and 1.2 goal concessions per appearance. Henderson's next challenge is likely to come Sunday when Crystal Palace hosts Chelsea.
Back to clean sheets
Henderson made four saves and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Henderson snapped a six-match run without a clean sheet by shutting out the opposition and making four saves, marking his third consecutive appearance with at least four. Palace had endured a difficult defensive stretch, conceding 11 big chances across those three games, and his next outing is scheduled for Jan. 17 against Sunderland.
Five saves in loss
Henderson registered five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Henderson produced a string of saves to keep the match scoreless deep into the second half, including strong work on Lewis Hall's corner and Fabian Schar's close range header in the 17th minute. He also pushed away Lewis Hall's long range effort just before the break and cleared a dangerous delivery from another corner early in the second half. He was then beaten twice after the interval, marking the first time he had conceded more than once in the last three games. Henderson made five saves in the match, tying his season high in the Premier League. The goalkeeper will look to build on that performance against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Four saves against Fulham
Henderson made four saves and allowed one goal in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Fulham.
Analysis: Henderson turned in a solid performance against Fulham on Thursday despite conceding a goal, making four saves, including a crucial late stop to preserve the draw. The goalkeeper has now gone five straight matches without a clean sheet and has been heavily tested during that span, recording 15 saves while allowing 10 goals. The Englishman will look to bounce back in a difficult trip to Newcastle on Sunday.
Concedes once in loss
Henderson recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Henderson conceded one goal in Sunday's loss, a header by Archie Gray in the 42nd minute which was the only goal of the match. Henderson has now conceded at least one goal in four consecutive matches and has conceded nine goals over that stretch. He faces a matchup of similar difficulty Thursday versus Fulham, a side which has scored 25 goals through 27 matches this season.
Concedes four in loss
Henderson registered two saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Leeds United.
Analysis: Henderson gave up four goals, his most this season, though he added two good saves and was rarely to blame with Palace repeatedly exposed on long throws and set pieces. He has conceded eight goals in his last three league appearances, totaling eight saves without recording a clean sheet, and will face Tottenham on Sunday.
Allows three goals
Henderson made three saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 88th minute.
Analysis: Henderson had a tough match Sunday, facing six shots on net and allowing three of them in, although one did come from the penalty spot. This is two straight matches without a clean sheet for the keeper, staying at seven in 16 appearances this season. He will face Leeds United in their next contest, a team with nine goals in their past four games.
Three saves for win
Henderson registered three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Fulham.
Analysis: Henderson made three saves during Sunday's win, doing enough to earn the win in a tight match. The goalkeeper was excellent throughout the clash, making the most of a winnable match. Henderson is going to be tested heavily during Sunday's clash with Manchester City, which is one of the toughest matches on the calendar
Three saves in clean sheet
Henderson made three saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Burnley.
Analysis: Henderson bounced back from the defeat to Manchester United with another clean sheet, his fourth in five outings and seventh overall. He made three saves, bringing his season totals to 33 saves and 11 goals conceded in 14 appearances. The goalkeeper will look to maintain this form when he faces Fulham on Sunday.
Concedes two against United
Henderson recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.
Analysis: Henderson would keep a clean sheet through the first half but would see a different story in the second half, allowing two goals while making four saves. This ends his three-match clean sheet streak, remaining at six in 13 appearances this season. He will face Burnley on Wednesday, a good chance to earn another clean sheet.
