Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford (kick-off 14:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- He acknowledged it is a fast turnaround from Thursday's game but "the players will be ready, with two days of recovery and training".
- On whether Maxence Lacroix will be fit enough to play twice in three days: "That's the big question - I don't know. Hopefully the goal helps a little bit! Right now, it looks OK, but let's see how the reaction is."
- He praised Jaydee Canvot for his "very good game" against Zrinjski in which he showed his "pace" against a quick front-line.
- He said they have "great memories" from Palace's 2-0 victory at Old Trafford last season and need to play with "confidence" again on Sunday.
- On what he expects from Michael Carrick's side: "Manchester United are on a good run. I watched their game Monday night at Everton. It was a fantastic transition goal [from Benjamin Sesko], and you can see the pace they have in their attack. They are a very good team, they have a very good balance."
- Glasner said he will re-watch the defeat against United earlier this season to see if there are any lessons they can learn and "analyse them in detail" with the hope of creating a tight game.
- He said the back-to-back clean sheets "will help" going into this match because they will "have to defend very well" against United's attacking players.
