Crystal Palace<\/b><\/a> manager Oliver Glasner has accused the English Football League of showing a lack of respect towards the Uefa Conference League amid his side’s fixture congestion.<\/b><\/p>\n Palace will play Arsenal<\/a> in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday (20:00 GMT) in a game scheduled to take place in the week after the other quarter-finals.<\/p>\n The EFL moved the game at Arsenal<\/a> as Palace played KuPS in the Europa Conference League last Thursday, between Premier League games against Manchester City<\/a> on 14 December and Leeds United<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n “This is the only criticism for me to the EFL,” said Glasner after Palace’s 4-1 defeat at Leeds<\/a> meant they had won only once following eight Europa Conference outings this season.<\/p>\n “I think to fix a round when a Conference League is played just shows also the [lack of] respect for the Conference League because they would never fix a round when there is a Champions League round or a Europa League round.<\/p>\n “So I think that’s maybe the problem for the game we have to play now, and why we have to play in three days again.<\/p>\n “But it shows that we are in four competitions and we want these games, we want this amount of games, and it’s not to complain about it. <\/p>\n “We are never complaining about the amount of games.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
