"Having selected an entirely different starting lineup that included four teenagers from the side that lost to Manchester City at the weekend, Glasner saw his second string impress as Christantus Uche gave them a deserved lead at half-time. But it needed a late equaliser from Justin Devenny to salvage a draw after they conceded two goals in the space of three minutes after the break, with the Northern Irishman and Eddie Nketiah coming closest to snatching the victory in stoppage time."
"Having rescheduled their Carabao Cup quarter-final against Arsenal for next week, Glasner has made no excuses for prioritising their Premier League game against Leeds on Saturday given they have less than 48 hours to recover for the trip to Elland Road. That meant debuts for teenage defenders George King and Dean Benamar, while 16-year-old winger Joel Drakes-Thomas became the fourth youngest player in Palace's history and certainly impressed."
Crystal Palace drew 2-2 with Finnish side KuPS, leaving them outside the Conference League top eight and requiring a two-leg playoff at the end of February. Glasner named a second-string lineup featuring four teenagers, with Christantus Uche giving Palace a deserved half-time lead before KuPS scored twice early in the second half. Justin Devenny's late equaliser salvaged a draw as Palace threatened in stoppage time. Palace will face either Zrinjski or Sigma Olomouc in January's draw. The Carabao Cup quarter-final at Arsenal was rescheduled, prompting Glasner to prioritise Saturday's Premier League trip to Leeds. Debuts came for George King and Dean Benamar, and 16-year-old Joel Drakes-Thomas impressed.
