In the 3rd round of the EFL Cup, two EPL powerhouses face off against each other, with Crystal Palace hosting the challenge of Ewarton. Both teams are currently in the doldrums in the EPL table, but the reason why EWT is at the bottom of the table is because of the points deduction, the actual performance is not too bad; while Crystal Palace has always been less interested in the cup competitions, and relegation is their biggest pursuit. Considering the fact that Crystal Palace lost three times in their last four encounters, it's doubtful whether the "Blue Moon" will be able to win on the tie-break tonight. (Stay tuned to myTV SUPER for the live broadcast at 4am on Friday!)
Crystal Palace beat Binford 3-1 in the last round of league matches, finally ending their 8-game winless streak. However, the team's long-term weakness cannot be ignored, and a win may not be able to reverse the recent decline, and relegation is the primary task of Crystal Palace. The leader of the team, "Grandpa Heshen", always puts the interests of the team first, and has been working for Crystal Palace for many years, so he knows the situation of the team. He knows that the team's goal every year is to reach 40 points in the league table, because if they are relegated, the club will lose up to 100 million pounds (about 988 million Hong Kong dollars) in revenue. Therefore, Crystal Palace's attitude towards the EFL Cup has always been relatively indifferent. In the last four editions of the competition, three of them were eliminated in the 3rd round, two of which were during Hessein's tenure, and the only time they were able to advance to the 4th round was when Vela took over the reins of the team. It seems that Hessein's strategy is "tailor-made".
