I'd like think an innings defeat would humble England and make them show some humility but it absolutely wouldn't

Palace U18s seem to have been taking lessons from the first team about how *not* to take their chances

Crystal Palace and Oliver Glasner have to compromise as schedule takes its toll The Londoners are fifth but, with their squad stretched by a demanding fixture list, they may have to be pragmatic for the foreseeable

It may well be that Palace have to be more pragmatic as a result of their hectic schedule.

Even Oliver Glasner conceded as much, not that he wants to.

Victory over Burnley was hard earned in a different way to usual. But Palace were resilient and dogged. #CPFC

Very kind, thank you. And for not being a dickhead when saying about what you felt was a major threat that I hadn't mentioned. Sometimes things get a bit jumbled for me

*Correction - Henderson made a good save from Larsen's thumping shot pushing it onto the bar.

Still felt like Palace deserved the win on balance though #CPFC

That was only because of Henderson flapping, Richards was covering. But take your point

03.12.2025 21:40 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah fair point! I didn't realise he touched that actually either

Oliver Glasner is second to last off the pitch as he's serenaded with "Oli Glasner's red and blue army" and applauds the travelling fans for a good while

Great effort from those in the away end on a very cold night and a long way to travel, won't have been cheap either. #CPFC

Full-time: Burnley 0-1 Palace

Really that is a fair result. Palace were far from their best but a brilliant moment from Marc Guehi and then Daniel Munoz has given them three points at Turf Moor.

No major threats to Dean Henderson's goal. #CPFC

03.12.2025 21:27 β€” πŸ‘ 24    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 0

Dean Henderson tries to claim a high ball over the top of Armando Broja and flaps at nothing but air. Chris Richards is there to clear the ball off the line and save him. Three minutes remaining of six added on. #CPFC

Canvot replaces Daichi Kamada. 88 minutes played.

Canvot goes to RWB and Munoz moves into the right sided No 10 position #CPFC

Eddie Nketiah has given away a totally needless free-kick on the edge of the box. Slides in unnecessarily when there was plenty of cover.

The free-kick is straight at the wall and Palace then get it clear. #CPFC

03.12.2025 21:17 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Jaydee Canvot is coming on soon. Seven minutes + additional time remaining #CPFC

It's a very fierce local derby tbf! Very closely located to each other

Finally on. Replaces Adam Wharton. Burnley fans are booing him and singing something related to him having played for Blackburn that I can't understand #CPFC

Will Hughes is ready to come on for Palace. 73 played. Still 1-0 to #CPFC

Yeremy Pino and Jean-Philippe Mateta are the ones replaced #CPFC

Justin Devenny and Eddie Nketiah are ready to come on for Palace. An hour played. Imagine that was pre-planned #CPFC

i regret leaving my hat at home where it was about 10 degrees warmer than this

No problem and thank you. It's pretty cold and not a huge amount going on so not as many updates as I might otherwise do!

Half-time: Burnley 0-1 Palace

Not a great game at all but Palace lead through a moment of absolute quality from Marc Guehi and Daniel Munoz. #CPFC

Don't think it's entirely unfair as Palace have shown flashes of quality in attack and not looked too troubled in terms of actual chances at the back

But make no mistake this has been a poor game so far. That goal a bit of an exception really. #CPFC

03.12.2025 20:17 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Goal! Daniel Munoz. A brilliant ball in by Marc Guehi over hte top and Munoz is there running onto it and directs the header really well into the far corner.

Somehow it's Burnley 0-1 Palace #CPFC

03.12.2025 20:16 β€” πŸ‘ 13    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Palace being caught a bit with transitions here. Looking a bit nervy in the opening 20 minutes.

Mateta did force a Dubravka save after smooth work from Lerma and Kamada but defensively some concerns #CPFC

They looked so knackered and it was so reflective of their physical and mental fatigue. I don't see it being like that again tonight but the tiredness will still be there.

Ah I don't bite, feel free to say hi and introduce yourself if you see me again at any point! Always happy to chat

I think Palace will win but may still tire in the second half

Oliver Glasner: β€˜If you have soup every day it’s nice, but as soon as you have beef you want more beef’ The Crystal Palace manager answers The Athletic's questions and talks about why he has been vocal in pushing for the club to progress

Oliver Glasner very clear on why he is so ambitious & pushes everyone as hard as he can

Reiterates need for progress at Palace but insists it's not his wish or goal that's important but what's good for club.

Seemed to dismiss suggestion it's like Eintracht #CPFC

Oliver Glasner says that Ismaila Sarr could miss AFCON with ankle injury, set for further tests Sarr sustained the issue after landing awkwardly following a challenge by Manchester United's Diogo Dalot on Sunday.

No real clarity on Ismaila Sarr's injury from Oliver Glasner due to his ankle swelling.

Some ligament damage which might be OK for him to return to play for Palace before AFCON but if he doesn't recover well then he might even miss AFCON entirely #CPFC
