Under-18s: Aston Villa v Palace
Palace's U18 Premier League Cup defence goes on the line on Saturday as Javier Alonso's side host Aston Villa in their final Group C fixture.
After an opening 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, the Young Eagles bounced back in style against Leeds United, with Donte Martin scoring a hat-trick in a commanding 3-0 victory to keep their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals alive.
Only the winners of the competition's eight groups progress to the last eight, meaning Saturday's meeting is effectively a knockout tie. Villa currently lead Group C on four points, with Palace and Forest level on three, although the Eagles boast a superior goal difference.
Victory would take Palace to six points and guarantee top spot and qualification. Even if Forest beat Leeds, they would need to win by at least eight goals more than Palace's winning margin to overhaul the Young Eagles' goal difference.

Under-21s: Palace v Everton
Darren Powell's side return to Premier League 2 action on Sunday, welcoming Everton to the Academy.
The Young Eagles will look to build on Tuesday night's 2-1 victory over Newport County, which secured their place in the EFL Trophy knockout stages for the first time in the Academy's history.
Palace have had a mixed start to their league campaign, but will be keen to carry the momentum from that historic result into Sunday's meeting with the Toffees.
