Crystal Palace still have work to do to confirm their place in the last 16 of the Conference League as they take on Zrinjski Mostar in the second leg of their play-off round tie.

Palace were surprisingly held in the first leg in Bosnia last week, the Eagles left to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Oliver Glasner will leave his post as manager at the end of the season, but Palace’s performance in the first leg led to chants about the prospect of his dismissal ahead of time from the fans who made the long trip East.

Glasner, though, will be keen to ensure he keeps hopes of leaving with another trophy alive. 101GreatGoals has the full team news for a crucial fixture in Palace’s season.
