Crystal Palace are back in action next weekend
Crystal Palace take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in the quarter-final of the FA Cup next Saturday. A place in the semi-final at Wembley lies in store for the winner.
The Eagles have had a break from playing this weekend. They are currently sat in 12th place in the Premier League table with 10 fixtures left to play this season.
Oliver Glasner’s side won 1-0 at home to Ipswich Town in their last outing. Winger Ismaila Sarr got their goals against the Tractor Boys.
Latest update regarding Crystal Palace target Maxime Esteve

According to reporter Alan Nixon on his Patreon page, AC Milan are ‘cranking up’ their interest in Crystal Palace-linked Maxime Esteve at Burnley. Everton and West Ham have also been mentioned as potential suitors.
Esteve, 22, is on the Eagles’ radar as well, journalist Nixon has reported in an earlier Patreon story. The London outfit will face a battle to land him though this summer amid competition from elsewhere.
The Frenchman’s current focus is on helping the Clarets gain promotion from the Championship in this campaign under the guidance of former Fulham boss Scott Parker. They were relegated from the top flight last year after finishing in the bottom three along with Burnley and Sheffield United.
Esteve made the switch to Turf Moor in 2024 on an initial loan deal that was later made permanent and he hasn’t looked back since. Prior to his move to England, he rose up through the ranks at Montpellier and broke into their first-team as a youngster.
Oliver Glasner’s reaction to Crystal Palace’s last win
Crystal Palace managed to get all three points on the board last time out against Ipswich. Speaking after that victory, Glasner said: “It was a tough game – a game how we expected it. Ipswich made it difficult for us, and they make it difficult for any opposition in the league. I think they haven’t got the results maybe they’ve deserved in the last weeks.
“We knew, especially when we missed a few clear chances, that makes it just even harder. We can't always expect that the players will perform at their top level, like they did against Villa, being very efficient, because we're all not always on our top level.
“But we could see a big effort from the beginning, I could see that we created many chances and we missed them. Of course, they also had two or three – we needed Dean Henderson in two or three situations to help us. And then it was important to stay patient, because in the last similar games against Everton and Brentford, we made the decisive mistake and lost the game – whereas today, we waited for this situation and then we were ruthless with Ismaila Sarr’s finish, and took the win.
“I’m really pleased now, four wins in a row, three Premier League wins in a row. It's tough for every team in the Premier League to get three wins, and this group did it, so I think we all can be very pleased with the results and with the performances in the last weeks.”
