Police are on alert for Sunday’s Premier League match after Nottingham Forest had a hand in the Eagles’ demotionCrystal Palace against Nottingham Forest isn’t usually a Premier League fixture that would have the Metropolitan police on red alert. But after a summer spent at each other’s throats at the court of arbitration for sport as well as on social media over Uefa’s decision to demote Palace from the Europa League to the Conference League, to Forest’s advantage, supporters of both clubs are preparing to come face-to-face on Sunday afternoon.“Forest aren’t our rivals – they’re nothing to us,” says the Palace fan Chris Waters. “But all of a sudden this game has a bitter edge to it.” Sanad Attia, AKA Wolfie, who presents the Forest Fan TV YouTube channel, says: “We’ve never really had any kind of issue with Palace – I was quite happy for them winning the FA Cup. But they have been wanting to blame everyone but themselves. And in particular, Forest and Evangelos Maranakis.” Continue ...

Crystal Palace 1-0 FredrikstadPalace begin life without Eze with win over NorwegiansIt might not be the Europa League. But even the absence of Eberechi Eze as he closes in on his £67.5m move to Arsenal could not spoil Crystal Palace’s first taste of European football as they sealed a narrow victory in the first leg of their Conference League playoff.After a summer of uncertainty over which competition they would play in, the last thing that Oliver Glasner would have wanted was to receive a call from Eze on the morning of the game informing the Palace manager that he was not feeling well enough to play. Yet having struggled to break down well-drilled Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the first half in the absence of their talismanic England forward, Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal calmed Palace’s nerves but they could not find a second that could have proved crucial as they attempt to secure their place in the group stages of Uefa’s third-tier competition.

Fans angry at opponents’ perceived role in Uefa demotionPalace talking to representatives of Met police and ForestCrystal Palace are in talks with Nottingham Forest, and the Metropolitan police, over the provision of increased security for Sunday’s Premier League game between the teams at Selhurst Park.Palace supporters are understood to be planning a protest at the fixture over Forest’s perceived role in getting them demoted to the Conference League, with Nuno Espírito Santo’s side replacing Palace in the Europa League after they were found by Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body [CFCB] to have broken multi-club ownership rules due to their former shareholder John Textor’s ownership of the French club Lyon, who also qualified for the latter competition. Forest wrote to Uefa with their observations about the alleged breach and sent their legal team to attend Palace’s appeal hearing at the court of arbitration for sport, which upheld the CFCB’s decision last week.

3 w. ago Crystal Palace sink Liverpool on penalties to claim Community Shield

The rest of the Premier League take note: Liverpool may have spent almost £300m on new players this summer but that doesn’t make them unbeatable.Goals from Hugo Ekitiké and Jeremie Frimpong and an impressive performance from Florian Wirtz had looked like being enough to seal a narrow victory over Crystal Palace in the Community Shield as Arne Slot’s summer signings made an instant impact for the reigning Premier League champions. But even with the possibility that they could still add Alexander Isak to the array of attacking talent already on the books, Oliver Glasner’s well-drilled side showed that their new-look defence is fallible and Palace deserved to take this game to penalties after an equalising for the second time of the afternoon thanks to Ismaïla Sarr.
