Palace’s form is all the more remarkable given the opposition they have faced.

Their run includes two wins and a draw against Liverpool, an FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, and draws at both Arsenal and Chelsea.

Speaking on TNT Sports, former England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, echoed the feeling that Palace – joint favourites to win the Conference League – are in a golden period of their history.

“Nineteen games unbeaten, that is truly remarkable. Credit to them, a first away win in Europe,” he said.

“This team are going places. They are going up and up.”

Only Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have won more Premier League points than Palace in 2025. The Eagles’ defence has also conceded just three goals in their opening six league matches this season, despite four of those coming against teams who finished in the top seven in 2024-25.

It is an incredible reversal of fortunes for a team that lost five of their first eight top-flight games last season and took until 27 October to register a league win.

Their record also compares favourably against teams on the continent.

When it comes to unbeaten runs, European giants Bayern Munich are next on the list across Europe’s big five leagues at nine games.

“I’m proud that we could start the Conference League away against a very good opponent,” added Glasner.

“I don’t think about this [unbeaten] run, because it has already happened, so for me it is important what comes next.”
