Turkish club Beşiktaş will host English Premier League side Crystal Palace in the third round of the UEFA Europa League league phase on Thursday at Tüpraş Stadium in Istanbul. The match kicks off at 10 p.m. local time (3 p.m. ET) and will be refereed by Dutch official Danny Makkelie.
Beşiktaş will be without captain Orkun Kökçü, who was injured in the second-round win over Hoffenheim and also missed the weekend league match against Trabzonspor.

Under Italian coach Vincenzo Italiano, the black-and-whites have won seven of their eight European matches this season, including qualifiers. They beat Olympique Marseille 4-1 and Hoffenheim 3-2 in the first two rounds of the league phase.
Beşiktaş aim to keep their winning run going in Europe and strengthen their place near the top of the table with a win over the London club.
