The FA Cup: Crystal Palace's home debut against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League is likely to be a tense grudge match with possible security issues. The authorities are also likely to put on heightened security for the match.

The FA Cup holder and its supporters are furious at what they consider to be a huge injustice after being demoted from the Europa League spot it earned on the pitch by beating Manchester City at Wembley, to the Conference League after UEFA ruled it had broken multi-club ownership rules, as former Palace shareholder John Textor is also a part-owner of Olympique Lyon.

Nottingham Forest wrote to UEFA about the possible breach of multi-ownership rules, with the club that finished seventh in the Premier League last season then taking Palace's place in the Europa League.
