However, any suggestion that Palace may have to prioritise given they remain in four competitions was unsurprisingly dismissed.
“No, I don’t think so,” said Glasner after his team’s 4-1 hammering by Leeds on Saturday. “If somebody tells me that we lose on purpose, the next day I’m not the manager any more.”
