Crystal Palace’s Unbeaten Run Hits 18 as Glasner Leads European Bow Against Dynamo Kyiv

The FA Cup holders travel to eastern Poland boasting the league’s joint-best defense plus third place in the table.

Overview

  • Palace are the Premier League’s only undefeated side after a 2-1 win over Liverpool extended their unbeaten streak to 18 matches in all competitions.
  • Oliver Glasner’s team sits third in the league, three points off leaders Liverpool, despite facing four of last season’s top seven.
  • Thursday brings Palace’s first full European campaign match, a Conference League group opener against Dynamo Kyiv being staged in eastern Poland.
  • The club reached Europe by winning last season’s FA Cup but were reassigned from the Europa League after losing a court challenge tied to UEFA multi‑club ownership rules.
  • Glasner’s reputation continues to rise as he retains key defender Marc Guehi and builds a robust back line, even as Opta data highlights finishing inefficiency with goals below expected and Jean‑Philippe Mateta underperforming his xG.
