Glasner on Guehi's return, Man Utd and 'goal to stay unbeaten'

Crystal Palace play Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday and the Eagles head into the match on a four-game unbeaten run.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has spoken to the media and here are his main lines from his news conference:

  • Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi are fit for the match. They have both trained with the team in the past two days.

  • On Guehi's quality, Glasner said: "I saw it before, I saw him playing. I mentioned before I saw him working, his working attitude is outstanding. He has a lot of quality but also is very professional. We will support him as good as we can that he plays some good games for us and also for England in the Euros."

  • On the futures of Guehi and Palace's best players: "I'm always optimistic as all these players have contracts with Crystal Palace. It's May and many situations can change. Nothing is 100% but he's under contract, he's a good player, he's our captain so I'm very positive and confident that he plays for Crystal Palace."

  • Glasner said of Manchester United: "I expect a lot of quality. Erik ten Hag did a fantastic job at Ajax. Last year they [United] won a cup. Great manager, great team. They suffered from many injuries this season but they still have a lot of offensive quality. With respect, but we go for the win."

  • On Palace's four-match unbeaten run, Glasner said: "We hope that we can keep this momentum. It is up to us how we work during the week. The players could relax for four days and yesterday we started preparing. They look ready, I could see how focused they are in training. We're four games unbeaten and the goal is staying unbeaten until the end of the season."
