Crystal Palace news

Arsenal and Crystal Palace have both made requests to the Premier League regarding fixture congestion after the Carabao Cup quarter-final draw caused a headache. The festive season is supposed to be the highlight of the English football calendar, with packed stadiums and Boxing Day drama. But this December, fixture scheduling has been a sticking point for the league authorities as teams complain of a lack of breathing space.

Oliver Glasner has criticised the football authorities over Crystal Palace's impending fixture pile-up. The Eagles booked their spot in the next round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night as they eased past an inexperienced Liverpool at Anfield. An Ismaila Sarr first half brace and Yeremy Pino's late strike set up a fifth-round clash with Arsenal as Palace secured a 3-0 win on Merseyside.

Real Madrid are leading the race for Marc Guehi as the La Liga leaders are reportedly "confident" of beating Liverpool to complete the free signing of the Crystal Palace captain. The 25-year-old centre-back is out of contract at the end of the current season, and with Palace unable to convince him to stay, Guehi has emerged as one of Europe’s most in-demand free agents. The Reds tried their best to get him to Merseyside, but their attempts failed flat on their face after Palace chairman Steve Parish chose to shut the door on the transfer in the 11th hour.

Crystal Palace owner Steve Parish believes the club would have taken a "significant risk" by going through with Marc Guehi's proposed transfer to Liverpool. The England international was on the cusp of moving to the Reds on transfer deadline day, only for the Eagles to pull the plug at the last minute as they struggled to find a suitable replacement.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner hit back fiercely at suggestions that his side’s 3-0 Carabao Cup demolition of Liverpool came against a weakened team, insisting it would be "disrespectful" to the players Arne Slot fielded at Anfield. The Eagles booked their spot in the fifth round thanks to a first-half brace from Ismaila Sarr and a clinical late strike from Yeremy Pino, as Palace ran riot in front of a stunned Kop. While Liverpool fielded an inexperienced lineup, Glasner refused to let that diminish his team’s victory, claiming the Reds’ squad was still full of world-class quality.

Liverpool were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night as Crystal Palace eased to a 3-0 win at Anfield. Reds boss Arne Slot made 10 changes from the team that lost at Brentford on Saturday night as an inexperienced side were no match for the high-flying Eagles. Supporters, though, have made their feelings on Slot known after a poor showing.

Arne Slot has explained his team selection as Liverpool named a young Carabao Cup XI for the visit of Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Slot has overseen a run of five defeats from six heading into the midweek meeting with the Eagles but rather than use the game as a chance to return to winning ways, the Dutchman followed in predecessor Jurgen Klopp's footsteps and named an inexperienced side.

Things are starting to get serious in the EFL League Cup - also known as the Carabao Cup - and we'll soon have just eight teams battling it out for glory.

Manchester United legend and pundit Gary Neville has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season, while predicting how many points they need to get over the line. After finishing second in three consecutive seasons, the Gunners now finally have the swagger of champions-elect, having opened up a four-point lead at the summit after nine games.

Bukayo Saka came off midway through the second half of Arsenal's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Eberechi Eze's first half strike proved to be the difference at the Emirates as the summer signing scored his first goal since his summer arrival from the Eagles. However, head coach Mikel Arteta has revealed that Saka's early withdrawal on Sunday came due to the England international's struggles with an illness.

Bayern Munich chief Max Eberl has seemingly confirmed that the club will pursue a move for Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi as the German champions look to bolster their backline. Guehi, who is in the final year of his existing deal at Selhurst Park, has been linked with a move away from the club next summer as a free agent, with clubs including Liverpool and Inter in the race to sign him.
