Crystal Palace face a compressed December schedule after cup progress
Crystal Palace may face two matches within 54 hours as winter fixtures bite.
Therefore, the club is in talks with the EFL over how to schedule the backlog.
Oliver Glasner will juggle the squad amid the crowded schedule.
Additionally, Palace reached the Carabao Cup quarter finals after beating Liverpool on Wednesday, elevating the mood.
That result sets up a repeat of last season’s quarter final with Arsenal, a familiar test.
The match is provisionally due on December 16 or 17.
However, Palace then host KuPS on December 18 in the Conference League.
That scheduling almost guarantees five games in 11 days.
The EFL are expected to confirm fixtures in the coming days.
TLDR
- Palace face five games in 11 days this December due to cup progress.
- EFL scheduling talks are ongoing to resolve the jam.
- Carabao Cup quarter final with Arsenal looms after Liverpool win.
