Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner is unbothered by his team’s high placing on the Premier League table after an impressive start to the 2025-26 season, Afrosport reports.
Goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell saw the Eagles defeat London rivals West Ham United United 2-1 away on Saturday to maintain their unbeaten start to the season with two wins and three draws in five games.
It temporarily sees them sit in fourth place on the table which is a UEFA Champions League qualification spot but Glasner is not getting carried away by such a solid form so early in the season, stressing that the end of the campaign is what really matters.
“I never look at the table, especially in September,” the Austrian told the club website.
“I can remember even what happened last year: eight games starting the Premier League without a win. Three draws, five defeats. We were always looking at our performance, so we never got nervous in the whole club.
“Of course, now it feels a little bit more relaxed, but on the other side, everybody who knows me, I’m never relaxed – it’s always about improving our game. The better we will perform, the more we will progress, the better we will be at the end of the season.
“This is the only thing we are talking about.”
