Under-21s: Palace v Borussia Mönchengladbach

Originally scheduled for 21st January, Wednesday’s clash was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and has now been rearranged for 19:00 GMT – setting up a decisive final Group B showdown in south London.

With every other side having completed their four fixtures, the qualification picture will be decided at the VBS. Valencia have nine points from four games, while Mönchengladbach are level on nine with this final match still to play.

The equation for Palace is simple: win or it’s over. Victory is the only route to the knockout stages, with goal difference likely to prove decisive – meaning a two-goal margin could be crucial.

Darren Powell’s side come into the game in strong form after a 2-1 Premier League 2 win over Fulham, ending the Cottagers’ 13-game unbeaten run.

Gladbach top the group on goal difference, having beaten West Brom and Leicester City 3-2 before seeing off Fulham 2-0 – emphasising the scale of the task.
