Palace face four games in eight days

Due to their fixture accumulating following their elimination from the Carabao Cup quarter-final, Crystal Palace are scheduled to play four games in eight days.

Palace will now face Arsenal in the week that begins December 15 with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool on Wednesday to advance to the last eight.

On December 14, Palace hosts Manchester City in the Premier League, plays at home against KuPS in the Conference League, and travels to Leeds for the Premier League on December 21.

The EFL Cup tie will most likely occur on December 16.

Due to the scheduled 13 December Premier League game against Wolves, Arsenal will have an additional day’s rest.

Every midweek until Christmas, Oliver Glasner’s Palace has commitments in the Premier League and Conference League, as well as no empty slots in January.

The first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals will take place on January 13 and there are midweek rounds of Premier League games until January 6.

The Champions League’s final two rounds are followed by the week’s two-day matches for the EFL Cup, which will begin on February 2. The second leg of the second leg is followed by the final two rounds.

Palace drawing Arsenal, who will play in the Champions League on those January midweek evenings, makes the fixture congestion more difficult.

To make the EFL Cup tie take place over the weekend, there is little chance that the Premier League will move two matches.

Within 24 hours of each other, Liverpool fielded a different team for the EFL Cup and Club World Cup in 2019.

A senior team defeated Monterrey 2-1 to reach the Club World Cup final after a young team lost 5-0 to Aston Villa.

Within 48 hours, Spurs were scheduled to face Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup and Shkendija in the Europa League qualifier.
