Read on for the key quotes from the manager's pre-match update, on the eve of our clash with Shelbourne FC.
Glasner provides team news update and discusses challenge of Shelbourne
Oliver Glasner gave fitness updates on Daniel Muñoz and Jean-Philippe Mateta ahead of Crystal Palace's penultimate league phase fixture in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday evening (20:00 GMT).
On team news ahead of the game...
"JP [Mateta] and Daniel [Muñoz] stayed at home. So we have some bad news on Daniel Muñoz, he has to undergo surgery - knee surgery. So we're missing him for a few weeks.
"JP also needs to rest. He came back with a minor injury from the French national team, and we had to manage his knee the whole time.
"There was a little bit of swelling, and he just didn't feel well. He stayed at home as well.
"Then today, Jaydee Canvot came and he was unwell. So we had to send him home.
"He's also not here, so we're here with 15 players, plus three from our academy.
"But we're trusting every single one, and of course we want to win tomorrow's game, to get definitely qualified for the knockout stage, that's the big goal for tomorrow."
On further details of Daniel Muñoz's injury...
"The prognosis is four to six weeks. Then he should be ready to play.
"But again, always when you have to undergo the surgery, you never know. I had a few in my career, that's why I'm always a little bit cautious.
"But it doesn't look too serious."
On finding solutions at right wing-back...
"I like to be creative. When I arrived there were plenty of injuries and I played Clyney as a right centre-back.
"He did very well. So I like to be creative.
"We could play a winger there, maybe an inverted player there [right wing-back], maybe we swap Borna Sosa or Justin Devenny onto this side, so we have a few options.
"We have to be creative, but I like this."
On the Academy players who have travelled to Dublin...
"He[Joél Drakes-Thomas] is a right wing-back. He is very young.
"We also have Kaden Rodney and Benji Casey with us. Just position-wise we need a few attackers in our squad. Benji scores many goals for our youth teams, so they all deserve to be with us.
"I don't know about tomorrow [if they will be involved] but they have talent and that's why they are part of the squad."
On the motivation for tomorrow's game...
"I think to be among the top eight, we need more than three points to get there. But right now, when I see our schedule, it's just important that we get qualified.
"If we have to play the knockout qualification [play-off round] at the end of February, I don't worry about it, because it's so far away at the moment.
"It's important to get the qualification."
On the challenge Shelbourne will pose...
"They [Shelbourne] don't concede a lot. Playing in a 3-5-2 in a low block, they're very compact.
"They didn't have a lot of possession against Alkmaar, but it was one set-play and one shot outside the box where they conceded.
"It won't be easy to find the gaps. They defend their box with eight players and there won't be a lot of space.
"They are direct to their strikers and are aggressive on the second balls, and going quick into the box. So we need to have a good balance, of course, to get our players in the box, to score a goal.
"But we need to have balance to ensure that they don't get their transitions. We need to be ready for this kind of game and this is what I expect tomorrow."
