After playing out a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at their Selhurst Park base last weekend, Palace will be hoping to snatch 3 points from a Villa side who will be looking for revenge after their 3-0 loss to the Eagles at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final last season.
Team news
Glasner first gave some team news and revealed that midfielder Will Hughes may be a doubt for the clash.
“We have a question mark with Will Hughes. We will see, we will have to assess in the next two days if he’s available for Villa.
“The players from yesterday look well. With Daichi (Kamada), big credit to our fitness and medical depratments: the diagnosis was four to six weeks (injured after the Community Shield), but he could play yesterday, with no bad reaction.”
“Chris (Richards’) ankle was swollen before, but looked better after – he got treatment. It looks like all the players who were available (last night) are available.
Guehi unlikely to leave
He then moved on to defender Marc Guehi who has been linked with a move to league champions Liverpool for a number of months.
""He has to (be a Crystal Palace player). It is not possible to find a Marc Guehi replacement who can play straight in the Premier League."
Palace ready for a fight
Finally, he said his side are ready for a fight this weekend despite a tough game against Fredrikstad FK midweek which saw The Eagles qualify for the Conference League.
“First of all, we’re feeling great, because we achieved our second goal this season after winning the Community Shield, going into the group stage of the Conference League.
“We did it, so we feel great, maybe a little bit tired. I went to bed a bit after three in the morning, but again if you go to bed with success, it’s easier to get up!”
