Crystal Palace will face a situation of 5 games in 11 days in December. They want to coordinate, but it may not be possible to change it.

Hupu News on October 31, including the latest reports from many media including the Guardian, TA and BBC, after Crystal Palace advanced to the League Cup quarter-finals, it faced a situation of playing five games in 11 days in December this year.

Oliver Glasner's side secured their third win of the season against Liverpool on Wednesday, setting up a repeat of last season's quarter-final tie against Arsenal.

This game was originally scheduled to be played on December 16 (Tuesday) or 17 (Wednesday), but since Crystal Palace will host the Finnish team Kups on December 18 for the last game of the UEFA Europa League group stage, the English Football League (EFL) is likely to confirm that the game will be played at the Emirates Stadium and be scheduled for Tuesday.

This means Crystal Palace will play two games in 54 hours, as they will also face Manchester City in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on December 14 at 2pm.

This game has been moved to Sunday this month to make room for their UEFA Cup away game at Shelbourne on Thursday, December 11.

In addition, the FA Cup champion Crystal Palace will also challenge Leeds United away from home on December 21. This is also a Premier League game, and there are games scheduled every week before that.

The situation becomes more complicated as Arsenal has two Champions League games in January and the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals will start on January 13.

It is understood that Crystal Palace and Arsenal are in discussions with the English Football League (EFL), but with such a dense schedule, there does not seem to be much room for maneuver.

Glasner addressed the lack of depth in Crystal Palace's squad as they compete in four competitions simultaneously for the first time. He is also concerned about Nketiah's hamstring injury, with the striker being substituted at half-time against Liverpool.

The Austrian complained about the scheduling of Palace's FA Cup semi-final tie with Aston Villa in May, when Unai Emery's side had 24 hours longer than their opponents to recover from their previous Premier League defeat, but said he was "like shouting into the wind and no one heard".
