Crystal Palace are one of the most-established clubs in the Premier League and have lofty ambitions. Palace won the FA Cup last season and are planning in the Europa Conference League in the 2025-26 campaign. Oliver Glasner's side are doing well in the Premier League at the moment. The London club are ninth in the standings with 16 points from 10 matches, just two points behind fourth-placed Sunderland.

Palace still want Mateta to extend his contract. It's going to take some judgement on Palace's end to assess how they think the discussions are going, and then to plan accordingly. If it starts becoming clear that he's not going to sign, they want to maximise the fee they're going to get. I don't think they'll let it get to the same situation with Guehi where if they don't take the offer he's going to leave on a free, they'll sell him before that.

FPL Heisenberg: Crystal Palace have been incredible under Glasner and now is the time to bring their assets in. They have three home games in their next four games and they do not face a top-six team in any of their next six gameweeks. Crystal Palace assets offer great value for money with Daniel Munoz, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta being my recommended triple up.

Crystal Palace play AEK Larnaca tonight. Follow all the action with our live commentary... Crystal Palace take on AEK Larnaca tonight hoping to make it two wins from two in the Conference League. Oliver Glasner's side ground out a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend, Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring a hat-trick and they will take on the Cypriots in confident mood. AEK are fifth in their domestic league but won their opening European game, a surprisingly easy 4-0 thrashing of AZ Alkmaar.

Players like Romain Esse and Christantus Uche were recently involved with the Crystal Palace under-21 side against Stevenage, and that is a strong hint that the two players will not be a part of the team in the midweek. Both players have struggled for opportunities under Oliver Glasner this season, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince the manager to give them more opportunities in the coming weeks.
