SOARING EAGLES UPBEAT IN EUROPE

Glasner's side head into maiden European campaign on superb 18-game unbeaten run
-
Crystal Palace enter unfamiliar territory on Oct 2 as they make their first full venture into European football riding a joint-club record 18-match unbeaten run and fresh off a win over the English Premier League champions.
Oliver Glasner's team head to eastern Poland to play Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League, brimming with confidence after an impressive 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Sept 27.
Palace's only previous experience of continental competition was one home-and-away tie in the now-defunct Intertoto Cup back in 1998, but they return to Europe after beating Manchester City to win last season's FA Cup.
That was the club's first major trophy, and it was followed by another triumphant day out at Wembley with a Community Shield win over Liverpool.
Palace lost a court battle over their demotion from the Europa League after falling foul of Uefa's rules governing multi-club ownership, a rare defeat in recent times for a team thriving under Glasner.
The 51-year-old Austrian's stock has risen to the extent that he is now considered among the favourites for the Manchester United job, if Ruben Amorim is sacked.
