WSL Cup Scenario Explainer: What's needed to progress

Palace find themselves in 3rd place in Group E, after a 2-0 defeat away to Aston Villa and a 2-0 victory against Charlton in Sutton.

In the WSL Cup, only the top team from each group will progress.

Tonight's opponents Spurs currently top the group, needing only a draw from the game to secure their place in the quarter-finals.

If Palace manage to beat Spurs by two or more goals and Villa fail to win at Charlton, then the Eagles will progress to the quarter-finals instead.

If the game is a draw by full-time, then it will go straight to penalties with no extra-time allocated.

Winning on penalties will award the club two points instead of the usual three, which in this case would not be enough for Palace to proceed.

After Spurs, Palace will host Manchester United at the VBS Community Stadium for the final WSL game of 2024.
