Crystal Palace will face AEK Larnaca in the Conference League last 16 after the draw was confirmed on Friday. The Eagles previously lost 1-0 at home to the Cypriot side in the league phase, with Riad Bajic scoring the winner.
Oliver Glasner's team finished 10th in the league table, forcing them into a play-off round where they overcame Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar 2-0 on aggregate. The victory secured their place in the knockout stage.
Should Palace progress past Larnaca, they will meet either Fiorentina or Polish side Rakow in the quarter-finals. Fiorentina, twice runners-up in the competition, face Rakow in the last 16.
Elsewhere in the draw, Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg will travel to Rijeka in Croatia. In the Europa League, Aston Villa face Lille, while Nottingham Forest take on Midtjylland. Villa could meet Roma or Bologna in the quarter-finals, while Forest would face Porto or Stuttgart if they advance.
