Fixture congestion, title race and Conference League

Palace play City in the rescheduled match on 22 May, then Arsenal on 24 May. If we manage to get past Shakhtar, the conference league final is 27 May.

There is no way we play the full squad in all three of those matches in 5 days unless our league position REALLY matters somehow. If the title hasn't been decided by then (maybe Arsenal will have fully collapsed), we could be put in an awkward position of playing more starters on the 22nd than on the 24th.

Perhaps we play approximately equally weakened squads against City and Arsenal? Then again, are we trying to get up the table still? It's a real mess.

EDIT: Or will the league find a different date for the City match? I'm getting conflicting information.
