62' 3-0 - Subs for Palace. Minguez and McNeil replace Timber and Khalaili.
58' 3-0 - Great punch out from the corner from Benítez, the Argentine is doing really well here!
56' 3-0 - Yerémy Pino skips beyond the fullback and his trailing arm slightly catches the face of the defender. Freekick given to Lech for some reason...

HALFTIME : Crystal Palace 3-0 Lech Poznań
43' 3-0 - Great defensive work from Khalaili, proving that he can do just as much going backwards as he can going forwards.
39' 3-0 - The Lech Poznań fans are doing the Poznań in the away end at Selhurst Park. Manchester City started doing the famous bounce after playing tonight's opponents!
37' 3-0 - Bizarre moment as the ball deflects in off Yegbe for an own goal from around 35 yards after the 'keeper came flying out. Offside flag spares the blushes for Lech.
34' 3-0 - GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!! IT'S THREE TO PALACE! Jørgen Strand Larsen makes it four goals in his last three games, slamming the penalty into the top left corner!
33' 2-0 - PENALTY TO PALACE! Pino is tripped inside the box and the referee points to the spot. Well won by the Spaniard, blatant penalty.
30' 2-0 - Strand Larsen comes close to a third for Palace, his looping header just doesn't have quite enough pace on it to beat the 'keeper.
28' 2-0 - IT'S TWO FOR PALACE. Great corner from Wharton towards the back post where Richards jumps the highest and powers a header beyond Lis to double Palace's lead.
24' 1-0 - Side netting from Yegbe who comes close to making up for his mistake which handed Palace the lead. Worked well from a corner and the central defender volleys into the side of the goal.
23' 1-0 - Lech with a wild strike over the bar from outside the box courtesy of Murawski, as Lech continue to push after Palace took the lead.
22' 1-0 - Another big chance for Ishak, played in through between Ahanor and Richards who split, and Ishak strikes the ball with pace but couldn't keep the ball down.
18' 1-0 - Big chance for Lech, on the half volley inside the box, but blocked excellently by Disasi.
15' 1-0 - Palace still on top. Quinten Timber is doing some great work in midfield and Pino has just gone close to doubling the Palace lead!
10' 1-0 - GOAAAAALLLLL PALACE! Yerémy Pino scores Palace's first ever Europa League goal, but it's a complete gift from Lech. Throw in taken and the Lech player throws straight across the box and into Pino's path. The Spaniard takes an excellent first touch and finishes to open the scoring!
7' 0-0 - Another chance for Palace, good interplay between Wharton, JSL and Pino, the latter striking onto the roof of the net.
5' 0-0 - Great press from Palace as a combination of Wharton and Timber win the ball back. Wharton plays through to Pino who cuts in and shoots but his attempt is blocked. Fast start to the game!
4' 0-0 - First chance for Palace as Khalaili crosses towards Pino at the back post. He heads down to Strand Larsen who fires wide on the spin.
2' 0-0 - Huge chance for Lech, ball crossed into the box and Ishak can't direct his effort goal wards from a matter of yards. Lech's all time top scorer can't convert and it's a let off for Palace.
1' 0-0 - We're underway in South London! COME ON PALACE!
19:57 - The players are out, the Europa League anthem is playing and we're just minutes away from the start of Palace's journey in the Europa League.
Team News
Crystal Palace have announced their lineup ahead of the game, and Pierre Sage has opted for a very strong side.
Jaydee Canvot remains on the bench but Sage has picked the same team that started Saturday's defeat to Ipswich Town.
Ismaïla Sarr returns to the Palace squad for the first time this season.
Lech Poznań have also announced their starting XI. Striker Mikael Ishak starts, the man who Sarr pipped to the golden boot in the Conference League last season. Their wide players provide a lot of threat, and Lech have been free scoring so far this season.
Palace will need to be at their best to win tonight.
