Crystal Palace face a crucial few days with crunch matches in the Conference League and Premier League. The Eagles host AZ Alkmaar tonight attempting to make it two wins in the league phase following the shock defeat to AEK Larnaca last time out. And then they host M23 Derby rivals Brighton at Selhurst Park on Sunday. AZ have won their last five in all competitions and their man to watch is teenage midfielder Kees Smit, who is reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid.
