Friday night football. Saturday's London derby. Palace back at Selhurst on Sunday. 🦅
Ipswich v Forest gets the weekend started tonight, with former Palace boss Oliver Glasner looking for a much-needed result after a difficult start at Forest.
Saturday brings Villa v Man City, followed by Chelsea v Spurs. Plenty to keep us entertained before the main event.
Then Sunday belongs to Palace.
The Eagles welcome Newcastle to Selhurst, and after a few difficult results, there's nothing we'd like more than three points back on home turf.
Sunderland v Leeds rounds things off later that afternoon.
Heading to Selhurst? Get your pre-match pint in at The Portland. No ticket? We'll have the game on here. 🍺🦅

From Brighton to Beşiktaş. Quite the week for Palace. 🦅
After a Sunday we'd all rather forget, the Eagles are off to Istanbul on Thursday for their next Europa League fixture.
Beşiktaş have won both of their European games so far, so it's hardly the easiest place to go looking for a response. But that's football for you.
Before Thursday, we've got Liverpool v Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday, followed by Bayern Munich v Arsenal on Wednesday.
Brighton are also in European action on Thursday, away at Jablonec. We'll leave that one there.
Not making the trip to Istanbul? We'll have Palace on at The Portland.
Come down, grab a pint and get behind the Eagles. 🍺🦅

Brighton away. You know what that means. 🦅
Palace head down to the Amex on Sunday for one of those fixtures that never needs much building up.
The Eagles are coming off a 3–1 win over Forest in the league and a frustrating 3–2 defeat in Lyon on Thursday. Brighton, meanwhile, have been on a bit of a roll.
Lovely time for a derby, then.
We've also got Everton v Chelsea and Newcastle v Villa on Saturday, Forest v Arsenal after the Palace game on Sunday, and Spurs v Coventry on Monday night.
But we all know which fixture matters most around here.
Not making the trip to Brighton? Get yourself down to The Portland, grab a pint and watch the Eagles with us. 🍺🦅

Three goals against Forest on Sunday. Lyon away on Thursday.
Palace aren't hanging about. 🦅
After seeing off Oliver Glasner's Forest at Selhurst, the Eagles are heading to France for a reunion of a different kind.
Pierre Sage returns to Lyon, the club he managed before taking charge of Palace, with both sides looking to make it two wins from two in the Europa League.
Before that, there's Arsenal v Lille on Tuesday, Liverpool away at LASK and Man City v PSG on Wednesday. Brighton also get their Conference League campaign underway against Kauno Žalgiris on Thursday.
But let's be honest, we've got our eyes on Lyon.
Not making the trip to France? Get yourself down to The Portland, grab a pint and watch Palace with us. 🍺🦅

Palace back at Selhurst. Premier League back on the telly. Normal service resumed. 🦅
The Eagles welcome Forest on Sunday after signing off before the international break with a goalless draw at Leeds, with that 4–0 European win over L**h Poznań still pretty fresh in the memory too.
Before that, Saturday gives us Arsenal v Leeds and Man United v Spurs.
Then after Palace, it’s over to Anfield.
Liverpool v Man City. City top of the league, Liverpool unbeaten, and absolutely nothing else whatsoever has happened at Man City recently.
Should be a quiet one.
Coventry v Newcastle then gives us one more on Monday night.
If you’re heading to Selhurst, get the pre-match pint in with us. If not, get your table sorted and watch it here. 🍺🦅
