Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says their fine form at the end of last season meant "expectations were wrong" going into this campaign.
Palace won six of their last seven games of 2023-24, scoring 21 goals in that run. They ended up on 49 points, their best 38-game Premier League season.
But their only two wins this season have come in the Carabao Cup - against Championship sides Norwich and QPR - and they sit on two points from four games.
This is Glasner's first full season in charge, having taken over in February.
