Oliver Glasner hits out after Crystal Palace rotation claim vs Man City
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says the title race isn’t even on his mind as he considers rotation against Manchester City . The Eagles take on Pep Guardiola ’s side at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening and it could be a pivotal game in the title race; if City win, they would cut the gap to Arsenal to just two points with two games to be played, while a defeat would all-but hand the trophy to the Gunners. Palace could be tempted to rotate their side, with the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano taking place in just over a fortnight’s time. Asked about his thought process, Glasner insists he does not owe either side anything. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: “When you watch our games, like against Fiorentina. with these amount of games, playing every third day, we always rotated. JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!

We also planned our substitutions at 45 minutes. “It’s just necessary in such a long season. I saw the players today and what really impressed me massively is in the last league round, against Everton , in every physical data in the Premier League we were top three in this round. Just playing three days after Shakhtar with more or less the same team. “It just shows what an incredibly well shape the players are in physically. After your question I had a look at my payslip to see if we get some money from Arsenal or City. I couldn’t find it. “I’m responsible for Crystal Palace , not for Arsenal and for City. I just got the confirmation. This is what we always do. We always think what is best for us. I think this is my and our responsibility, and I think our influence on the title race will definitely be less than VAR.” Despite potential rotation, the Austrian has suggested that his side will not lose focus ahead of the final. He added: “It’s not possible now to switch off for two weeks and then switch on two days before the final. It’s just not possible.” Palace have a further two Premier League games to play after their clash with Man City. They will take on Brentford away from home before rounding off their campaign against title-chasing Arsenal on the final day of the campaign. Join our new WhatsApp community!
