Under-18s: Palace v Peterborough United
Palace head into Tuesday’s Premier League Cup quarter-final off the back of an impressive group-stage run. Drawn in a tough Group D with Manchester City, Chelsea, and Sheffield United, the young Eagles needed top spot to progress.
A 3-3 draw with City set the tone, a 3-1 win at Sheffield put us in control, and a commanding 4-0 victory over Chelsea on the final day – combined with superior goal difference – sealed our place in the last eight.
Peterborough United Under-18s compete in the U18 Professional Development League, North Division. They currently sit eighth with 17 points from 17 matches, narrowly ahead of Coventry City (13) and Huddersfield Town (10), having beaten league leaders Hull City on Saturday.

Under-21s: Palace v Borussia Mönchengladbach
Originally scheduled for 21st January, Wednesday’s clash was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and has now been rearranged for 19:00 GMT – setting up a decisive final Group B showdown in south London.
With every other side having completed their four fixtures, the qualification picture will be decided at the VBS. Valencia have nine points from four games, while Mönchengladbach are level on nine with this final match still to play.
The equation for Palace is simple: win or it’s over. Victory is the only route to the knockout stages, with goal difference likely to prove decisive – meaning a two-goal margin could be crucial.
Darren Powell’s side come into the game in strong form after a 2-1 Premier League 2 win over Fulham, ending the Cottagers’ 13-game unbeaten run.
Gladbach top the group on goal difference, having beaten West Brom and Leicester City 3-2 before seeing off Fulham 2-0 – emphasising the scale of the task.
