When Crystal Palace lost to Bournemouth a fortnight ago, manager Oliver Glasner likened the 3-0 defeat to a friend's birthday party taking place a few days before your wedding. The "wedding" in that scenario was Palace's Conference League semi-final second leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, which Glasner's team won 2-1 to confirm their place in the final. With Palace's focus now firmly on the showpiece against Rayo Vallecano in 10 days' time, Glasner made five changes to the side that lost to Manchester City in midweek - leaving the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta, Chris Richards and Jefferson Lerma on the bench.
