Glasner on player fitness, 'raising standards' and Vallecano scouting

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• There are no fresh injuries concerns. Most of the players are "available and feeling well" going into the club's final four games of the season.
• Evann Guessand and Borna Sosa are back in first team training, however Wednesday night's fixture will come "too soon" for them. He explained: "They will need a few minutes to get back into shape. We are working towards them returning against Brentford."
• There has been "a great feeling and a great mood" around the club since progressing to the Europa Conference League final.
• Despite already securing Premier League safety, Crystal Palace will be looking to "show their best football" in their remaining league games against Manchester City (A), Brentford (A) and Arsenal (H).
• On the feeling after survival was confirmed: "It's mathematically done which is always the foundation - staying in the league. But, nothing changes to be honest. We still want to improve our game, do better, and show the best football we can play. This is the standards we have created here. We are not just playing for ourselves, we are playing to see the best of every player and best of Crystal Palace. It is more important than just the points."
• How much can he now look ahead to facing Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final?: "To be honest, it's started now. I will go to Valencia to see them live on Thursday. But, in the daily work - zero. Our focus is on our team always."
• On the suggestion that the Premier League title could be decided by Crystal Palace, who will face the league's top two teams in the final run-in, he said: "We always think what is right for us. That is my responsibility."
• He continued: "Our influence in the title race will be definitely less than VAR!"
• Glasner said his side are always looking for ways to "improve our game" and "raise our standards", so they will endeavour to do the same against Pep Guardiola's side.
• On what the Eagles have been focusing on in training this week, he said: "We have shown the players where we can find our chances to score against Manchester City. We want to be more efficient. We believe we can create chances. But the big challenge is to control their attack."
