Omari Hutchinson is proving a real thorn in Fernerbahce's side and he again gets the better of the full-back before his whipped in cross has to be pushed away from danger by Tarik Çetin.

Has to score!

Evann Guessand heads wide from inside the box after connecting with Adam Wharton's cross.

Replays show Guessand's effort actually took a deflection and a corner is awarded.

Crystal Palace defender Jaydee Canvot is shown the first yellow card of the game for impeding Karlo Abramovic as the Zrinjski attacker broke away at speed.

The referee's gone early with his first booking. Seems harsh.

There's been no sign of Fenerbahce trying to get an early goal here, it has been all Forest in fact as Elliot Anderson's dangerous ball across the face of goal is stabbed away.

Omari Hutchinson scampers away down the left and plays a dangerous cross into the box, but there's no team-mate close enough to reach it.

Daichi Kamada tries a cheeky, low-driven corner to Adam Wharton but it's cleared with ease. Underwhelming.

Ouch.

Ryan Yates has summoned medical assistance because his finger has popped out of its socket. He's taking it FAR better than I would.

Crystal Palace have the first corner of the game after Jorgen Strand Larsen's shot from outside the area is deflected behind.

We're back playing now with things now appearing to be under control.

Cracking atmosphere it has to be said. The Forest fans are making lots of noise.

It's early doors at Selhurst Park but already Adam Wharton has had a couple of nice touches between the lines. He'll be key for the hosts tonight.

Within the first minute the game is stopped with Fenerbahce fans throwing flares onto the pitch.

We kicked off, but now play is paused because some flares have been thrown onto the edge of the pitch.

We're under way in the late kick offs in the Europa League and Conference League.

Since qualifying for the Conference League for the first time in 2023, Zrinjski have lost all six of their away games in the competition.

Can they break their duck tonight? Crystal Palace will hope not.

Only Stuttgart (19) have scored more goals in this season’s Europa League than Forest, who have scored 18 times.

Will they add to that tally tonight?

Nottingham Forest have won their last two Europa League games and could win three consecutive major European fixtures for the first time since the 1983-84 Uefa Cup.

This will be N'Golo Kanté's first game on English soil since playing for Chelsea in a 3-1 win at Bournemouth in May 2023.

He has never played at the City Ground before.

Two Nottingham Forest players are walking the disciplinary tightrope this evening.

Elliot Anderson and captain Ryan Yates are a booking away from a one-match ban, which would see them miss the first leg of the last-16, if Forest avoid a collapse.

Forest will play either Midtjylland or Real Betis in the next round.

Midtjylland won 3-2 at the City Ground in October - the beginning of the end of Ange Postecoglou - while Forest also drew 2-2 at Betis in the league phase.

The 1-1 draw in the first leg was the first European meeting between Crystal Palace and Zrinjski Mostar.

However, Bosnian sides have only managed one win across 11 matches against English opposition (D3 L7), which came when Velez Mostar defeated Derby County in the Uefa Cup during the 1974-75 season.

Factually, had Palace not capitulated against Burnley, the team would currently be eighth or ninth in the division - not befitting of a club in "crisis". However, the past two months have been a public relations nightmare, which all felt avoidable.

There have been opportunities for public contrition, playing the media game, and removing ambiguity in some comments. Instead, Palace have remained a story, which feels entirely unnecessary.

The damage between chairman and manager was done in the summer, with the failure to deliver adequate depth, and the last-gasp attempt to sell Marc Guehi to Liverpool. The comments before and after the Sunderland game which sparked much of this situation were therefore not without merit, but unhelpful all the same when aired.

Few fans fully expected Glasner to be in charge on Sunday and the performance was lacking, even if the late outcome saved further blushes. Palace are playing without zip and confidence, and the standards will have to be higher against better opponents.

The crowd, to their credit, remained vocal, even if it was pointedly behind the team rather than the manager.

At this stage, it is hard to fathom what the outcome will be, and only chairman Steve Parish will know that answer.

For now, the fans will just need to remain humble and hope tonight goes Palace's way, whoever is in the dugout.
