For the second time in four days, Selhurst Park witnessed a frustrating goalless draw as Palace failed to capitalize on a man advantage against a resilient Leeds United. In a chaotic end to the first half, Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a penalty for the visitors before Gabriel Gudmundsson was sent off, but despite playing 45 minutes against ten men, the Eagles couldn't find the breakthrough. We're dissecting a performance that Oliver Glasner labeled "nervous," as the gap to the top half remains frustratingly out of reach.

The "Larnaca Curse" continues as Palace were held to a scoreless draw in a wet and windy first leg at Selhurst Park. Despite dominating 71% of the possession and racking up 13 shots, the Eagles couldn't find a way past an inspired Zlatan Alomerović in the AEK goal. With boos ringing out from sections of the home crowd at full-time, Oliver Glasner's men now face a daunting task in Cyprus next week to keep their European dreams alive.

Palace shift their focus back to Europe as they welcome AEK Larnaca to Selhurst Park for the first leg of the UEFA Conference League Round of 16. While the stunning 3-1 victory over Spurs has injected some much-needed belief into the club, the Eagles have a score to settle with the Cypriot side. Larnaca have already embarrassed Palace at home once this season during the group stages, and Oliver Glasner knows his side cannot afford another lapse if they want to take a healthy lead to the Mediterranean next week.

Despite a controversial VAR decision denying Ismaïla Sarr an early opener and Dominic Solanke giving the hosts a lead, the game flipped in a chaotic ten-minute "implosion" for Spurs. Micky van de Ven's red card for hauling down Sarr opened the floodgates, allowing the Eagles to net three times before the half-time whistle. We're breaking down a tactical masterclass that secured Palace's first-ever back-to-back away league wins at the Tottenham

Hotspur Stadium.

The Eagles head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a high-stakes midweek London derby, looking to bounce back from the VAR controversy at Old Trafford. While Palace have enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture recently-including a league double last season-the squad is once again being pushed to its limit. With Spurs winless in their last ten Premier League outings and slipping toward the danger zone, this is a massive opportunity for Oliver Glasner to twist the knife, but he'll have to do it with a severely depleted deck
