Oliver Glasner has set a challenge for his Crystal Palace squad as they prepare to face Newcastle United at Selhurst Park. Following a thrilling win against Liverpool and a dominant performance against West Ham United, the Eagles are riding high with confidence. Goals from Olise, Eze, Palmieri, and Mateta secured a 5-2 victory, increasing the pressure on West Ham’s Moyes.
Newcastle, on the other hand, come into the match well-rested and in good form. With three wins and a draw under their belt, they currently sit in sixth place and are eyeing a Europa League spot. Palace have historically struggled against Newcastle, with their last league win against them occurring in 2009. However, Glasner is determined to see his team secure a third consecutive win in the league.
Reflecting on the recent performances, Glasner praised his players for their hunger and ambition. He acknowledged the challenge of maintaining focus after a big win but emphasized the importance of staying motivated. With two wins in a row, the goal now is to make it three against Newcastle. The manager is optimistic about his team’s chances and looks forward to a tough but exciting match ahead.
