Oliver Glasner: Palace playing Arsenal just before cup semi not the best choice

Oliver Glasner revealed Crystal Palace did not want their trip to Arsenal scheduled three days before the FA Cup semi-final – but claimed speaking to the Premier League was like “shouting to the wind”.

The Eagles face one of the toughest fixtures of the season on Wednesday, and less than 70 hours later play one of the biggest matches in their history against Aston Villa at Wembley.

Glasner believes it is unfair that Villa will have an extra 24 hours to prepare, with their rearranged Premier League meeting with Manchester City taking place on Tuesday.
