"Fourth in the table, quality all over the pitch and a top manager - Crystal Palace are enjoying their best-ever Premier League campaign. Marc Guehi's late header secured a tight 2-1 victory away at Fulham on Sunday, moving the Eagles up into the Champions League places. A yield of 26 points from their 15 opening matches is their highest tally at this point in a top-flight season and makes them serious contenders for a place in Europe's top competition next year."
"But that praise comes just one week after Glasner openly criticised the club for their lack of summer investment following a 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United. With his contract running out at the end of the season and uncertainty over the future of important players like Guehi and Adam Wharton, concerns remain behind the scenes at Selhurst Park. Will Palace's owners be able to keep hold of the manager that has brought them such success?"
Crystal Palace occupy fourth place in the Premier League with 26 points from 15 matches, their best-ever tally at this stage and a platform for European contention. Marc Guehi's late header secured a 2-1 win at Fulham, while Eddie Nketiah scored on his 50th appearance. Manager Oliver Glasner praised the team for a collective effort. Glasner joined in February 2024 and has delivered back-to-back record Premier League points totals, an FA Cup victory, a Community Shield win and Palace's first major European appearance, albeit downgraded to the Europa Conference League due to ownership rules. Contract and transfer uncertainties persist.
