Crystal Palace boss Glasner ready for physical Luton battle

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner expects a physical battle against Luton.

Palace host Luton on Saturday.

Glasner said: "They are a very physical team and play man-to-man defence, [win] many duels, and they play very fast into your box.

"I think [they have made] the most crosses in the league, with approximately 35% goals after set-pieces.

"There is always belief in them. We could see it against Aston Villa, they were 2-0 down, but they played and then it was 2-2. They just lost it in the last minute.

"So, yes, we have a lot of respect, but we play at home, we play at Selhurst, and we are ready for the game. I'm really happy with the training week we had. The players did very well, are very focused, and that's what we need tomorrow.

"Be focused, take the duels, win the duels, and then we will get our opportunities."
