Thursday night. Selhurst Park. European football. 🦅

Palace welcome Hoffenheim in the Europa League, and after another frustrating result against Spurs at the weekend, a European night at home feels like just what we need.

The Eagles have already shown what they're capable of in Europe this season, and with a place in the knockout stages to play for, there's plenty riding on Thursday.

Before that, Tuesday brings Barcelona v Aston Villa and Man United v Roma, followed by Liverpool away at Fenerbahçe and Arsenal at Slavia Prague on Wednesday.

Brighton are also in action on Thursday, away at Getafe.

But our attention's firmly on Selhurst.

Heading to the game? Come and see us for your pre-match pint. Staying local? We'll have Palace on at The Portland. 🍺🦅

Palace away at Spurs. A London derby on a Saturday evening. 🦅

After a difficult few weeks, the Eagles head to North London looking to give us something to cheer about.

Spurs are coming into this one off the back of a 2–0 win at Chelsea, but form has a funny habit of going out the window when London rivals meet.

Before that, Chelsea welcome Man United to Stamford Bridge. Villa v Fulham follows later on Saturday.

Then Sunday brings Liverpool v Arsenal at Anfield, with Newcastle v Everton rounding things off on Monday.

But Saturday evening is the one we've got our eyes on.

Not making the trip to Spurs? Get yourself down to The Portland, grab a pint and get behind Palace with us. 🍺🦅

Palace away at Fulham. A place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on the line. 🦅

After another frustrating afternoon at Selhurst on Sunday, the Eagles head across London to Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.

The league form hasn't been pretty, but cup football has a habit of giving you something else to shout about.

And frankly, we could do with that.

There's plenty of football around it too. Arsenal kicks things off at Fleetwood tonight, Liverpool host Chelsea on Wednesday, and Everton v Newcastle finishes the round on Thursday.

But Wednesday's the one we'll be watching closest.

Not heading to Craven Cottage? Come and get behind Palace with us at The Portland. 🍺🦅

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. 🍺🦅
