The Eagles are out to continue their perfect start to life in Europe as Cypriot opposition visit Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace have no fresh injury concerns ahead of tonight’s Conference League clash with AEK Larnaca.
After the chaos of Saturday’s 3-3 home draw with Bournemouth, the Eagles will be hoping for a more routine outing this evening as they return to Conference League action.
Glasner’s side started their first-ever European campaign with a comfortable 2-0 victory away to Dynamo Kyiv in Poland, and they will be looking to make it two wins from two as they host Cypriot outfit Larnaca, who opened their own campaign with a statement 4-0 triumph over AZ Alkmaar.
Glasner is set to rotate for tonight’s match, with his side set to play four games in the space of just nine days.
Borna Sosa, who has started all of Palace’s Conference League games so far, including both legs of their play-off victory over Fredrikstad, is suspended after he was sent off against Dynamo Kyiv.
Will Hughes could come into midfield, while striker Eddie Nketiah, who is waiting for his first start of the season, scored off the bench against Dynamo Kyiv and is in line to play as one of the two No10s behind Jean-Philippe Mateta, who scored a hat-trick against Bournemouth.
There could also be rotation in defence, with 19-year-old centre-back Jaydee Canvot set to make his Palace debut.
Chadi Riad, Cheick Doucoure and Caleb Kporha remain long-term absentees, though Glasner has said that Riad is now only a couple of weeks away from returning to training.
Predicted Crystal Palace XI (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Guehi, Lacroix, Canvot; Mitchell, Hughes, Wharton, Munoz; Nketiah, Kamada; Mateta
Injured: Riad, Doucoure, Kporha
Suspended: Sosa
Time and date: 8pm BST on Thursday October 23, 2025
Venue: Selhurst Park
