But they could be prevented from participating in the Europa League because of rules over multi-club ownership.

Co-owner John Textor, who has a 43 per cent stake in Palace, owns French club Lyon, who also qualified for the Europa League.

Uefa forbids clubs with the same owners from competing in the same competitions.

Unfortunately for Palace that could mean they will not be allowed to drop into the Conference League either, as Textor has a stake in Danish side Bronby.

Now Crystal Palace chiefs are set to meet with Uefa where they hope to iron out any issues.
