Palace winning would be bad on two counts for us. Makes it so that Europa League is not guaranteed for 7th and takes away another Villa game and a massive distraction for them.
On the plus side it does make our potential final opponent loom easier if we were to beat City tomorrow.

Could probably make an argument that Palace winning would mean they'd be distracted for our league game.

Where’s the place that let in 10 goals in 2 games?

Hopefully they carry that through to the rest of their league matches.

Villa haven't really turned up. Palace look excellent. Regardless of our game it'd be excellent to see them win the cup.

If we beat City tomorrow, Palace may come at us hard to win the mind games before the cup final.
If we lose, I suspect they wont be coming at us hard as they will have the final on their minds

Tonight was a blow but I still think we've done enough for seventh so as long as Palace don't win the FA Cup we'd still be good for the Europa League.
