"Crystal Palace face Finnish champions KuPS in the Conference League as they look to clinch a place in the top eight of the league phase table. The Eagles are a point outside the top eight and automatic qualification to the last 16. However, with two of the teams above them, Mainz and Samsunspor, facing each other, a win would be enough to ensure Palace do not have contest a two-legged tie in the play-off round."
"Palace are without Daichi Kamada due to the hamstring injury he suffered against City. Daniel Munoz (knee) remains unavailable, along with Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad (both knee), Rio Cardines (groin) and Caleb Kporha (back). Glasner has made 11 changes to the starting XI from the City game. Centre-back George King, wing-back Dean Benamar and winger Joel Drakes-Thomas all make their senior debuts."
Crystal Palace face KuPS with the chance to secure automatic last-16 qualification by winning the Conference League match. Palace sit one point outside the top eight and a victory would guarantee progression given Mainz and Samsunspor meet each other. Manager Oliver Glasner is expected to rotate the squad with the game 48 hours before the Premier League fixture against Leeds. Glasner made 11 changes from the Manchester City loss, handing senior debuts to George King, Dean Benamar and Joel Drakes-Thomas. Daichi Kamada is sidelined with a hamstring injury and several other players remain unavailable through knee, groin and back issues.
