Crystal Palace take on Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off tonight, with Oliver Glasner’s side looking to put their Europa League demotion behind them.

Crystal Palace said on Tuesday they are seeking legal advice on possible next steps after the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the club's appeal against UEFA's decision to demote them from the Europa League to the Conference League.

Crystal Palace’s appeal against their demotion to the Conference League has been rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The decision means Palace will play in the Conference League next season, while Nottingham Forest will compete in the Europa League.
