This is the first season with the new format, with 23 teams competing in an initial league phase that is split into Northern and Southern sections.
Each team play three home and three away games against sides in their region, with three points for a win.
Any match that is level after normal time will be decided on penalties, with the winner gaining two points and the loser awarded one.
After two wins and two defeats from four games, Palace are in ninth-place in the league - with the top eight teams in the league phase qualifying for the quarter-finals in January.
There are two games remaining, and a win tonight could see the Eagles climb as high as fourth in the table.
