Merely a full season ago, the Eagles were sitting in the relegation zone in the Premier League and worryingly without a win.

European Triumph

Yet they have moved forward from that point, with perhaps a indication of their progress highlighted on Thursday, when their opponents - a team full of international legacy - deployed a approach and game plan specifically aimed to try to nullify Palace's offense.

It proved ineffective.

Glasner's side beat their rivals on recently to tie the 18-game winning sequence earlier matched between spring and summer the late sixties, with Bert Head as their manager.

Coach's Perspective

"They are so hungry to achieve, and very determined, and naturally we seek to continue their progress, and it is very straightforward to keep the focus high," commented Glasner.

The unbeaten run also stacks up well with teams on the European stage.

Concerning winning sequences, continental powerhouses the German champions are ranked behind across Europe's major competitions at nine matches.

"I'm proud that we could start the continental competition away versus a very good side," continued the manager.

Impressive Results

Their performance is particularly remarkable given the opposition they have played against.

Their run contains two successes and a draw facing the Reds, an Wembley showdown triumph over the Citizens, and draws at both the London rivals and their London opponents.

Commenting on broadcast media, former England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, shared the opinion that Palace - strong contenders to lift the trophy - are in a successful era of their club legacy.

"19 fixtures undefeated, that is truly extraordinary. Well done to them, a initial success abroad in European competition," he said.

Statistical Analysis

Merely Liverpool, the Gunners and Manchester City have gained more domestic league points than Palace in 2025.

Palace's backline has additionally conceded just three goals in their opening six Premier League fixtures now, although several coming against teams who placed in the leading positions in last season.

This marks an remarkable transformation for a club that were defeated in half of their opening eight Premier League games last season and needed until late October to secure a league win.
