The Eagles welcome Larnaca to Selhust Park Thursday evening as they aim to book their place in the Quarter Final under manager Oliver Glasner who has had a rough European ride so far.
Palace suffered a 1-0 home defeat to the Yellow-greens in the League Phase earlier this season as they seek revenge in front of the home crowd.
Glasner has confirmed that Jean-Philippe Mateta is "back" and available for selection after a lengthy stretch on the sidelines in what is positive news for the Premier League side especially as they prepare to face Leeds at the weekend.
However, Palace will be without three players in Daniel Munoz (shoulder), Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Eddie Nketiah (thigh) as Glasner rotates his side who have more than enough firepower to fend off Larnaca.
For the Cypriot’s the likes of Yahav Gurfinkel (hip), Youssef Amyn (hamstring), Giorgos Naoum (muscle), Jimmy Suarez (groin) are all out as they build a side worthy of picking up points in South London.
Larnaca head into Thursday’s clash with Palace after winning seven, drawing one and losing four of their last 12 domestic matches in what could turn out to be a huge upset for Glasner’s side.
