Palace face four games in eight days!

[1964white]

Crystal Palace are set to play four matches in eight days because of a fixture pile-up caused by reaching the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Palace host Manchester City in the Premier League on 14 December, play KuPS at home in the Conference League on 18 December, will most likely play the EFL Cup tie on 16 December.

And travel to Leeds in the Premier League on 21 December.

Hopefully, Palace will prioritise their cup games.

Hope they come unstuck against us, but I like watching them lately.
They are a throwback to pre PL, when a club didn’t have to break the bank and a manager could build a team which everyone connected buys into.
They are going toe to toe with the big six and causing them problems.

I know Leicester did a similar thing but that was a perfect storm, imo, the top teams cancelled each other out that season and also underestimated Leicester who played a survival counter-attacking game which kept on going (you shouldn’t win the league with 30-40% possession, but I’m glad they did).

We have to advantage of Palace's unfortunate consequences.

Palace are a very good side and even with that run of fixtures it will be hard to get anything from that game. I can see them taking a chance and resting players ( at least not playing full games ) for the cup games but playing their strongest teams in the league games, so they wont be effected that much.

For teams like Crystal Palace it’s harder to rest players for cup games but especially when it comes to quarter finals when fans can start dreaming of a trip to Wembley. They’re a better team than us so we need any advantage we can get.

Might they also have players missing due to the African Cup of Nations when they play us??

They will definitely rest most if not all of their strongest 11 for the Conference League game.
