Crystal Palace<\/a> manager Oliver Glasner has accused the English Football League of showing a lack of respect towards the Uefa Conference League amid his side’s fixture congestion.<\/p>\n

Palace will play Arsenal<\/a> in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday (20:00 GMT) in a game scheduled to take place in the week after the other quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

The EFL moved the game at Arsenal<\/a> as Palace played KuPS in the Conference League last Thursday, between Premier League games against Manchester City<\/a> on 14 December and Leeds United<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“This is the only criticism for me to the EFL,” said Glasner after Palace’s 4-1 defeat at Leeds<\/a> meant they had won only once following eight Conference League outings this season.<\/p>\n

“I think to fix a round when a Conference League is played just shows also the [lack of] respect for the Conference League because they would never fix a round when there is a Champions League round or a Europa League round.<\/p>\n

“So I think that’s maybe the problem for the game we have to play now, and why we have to play in three days again.<\/p>\n

“But it shows that we are in four competitions and we want these games, we want this amount of games, and it’s not to complain about it. <\/p>\n

“We are never complaining about the amount of games.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has accused the English Football League of showing a lack of respect towards…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-205326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
