Why?
****e match thread
Crystal Palace down in 15th (bottom teams curse) plus we always do bad against Palace anyway. Also, fates won't allow us to finish 4th.

If we can beat palace then League will look nice.
United play Burnley before us so assume both teams win, we'll be 6 clear of united player 2 more.
5 clear of City having played 2 more.
But then on Thursday City play United so well maintain a gap over at least 1 where they can't overtake us with their games in hand. Ideal scenario sees then both draw and we'll be 4 ahead of City with 1 game more and 5 ahead of united with 1 game more as well.

This one is the next in line in a real run in for once.
Yeah it's only a run in to 3rd or 4th or 5th but hey.....
We've done way better out of little resources than I expected ted v West Bromwich and so now this is the biggest game now for us.
I dunno but sort of expect palace to do one of two things.... Either they will press us and get in our faces or they will do what fat sam did at Sunderland, come for 0-0 thinking that's enough for them to stay up and hope to counter.
If I were them I think I would go for the latter.
I agree our absolute ideal is a draw in city v utd game and putting 3rd in our hands.
5 wins needed here.
Did you know we've not lost when matip and lovern start.

That's very interesting!
Hoping the Sakho factor affects them and they down tools anyway off the back of some good results that have seen them basically safe!
Who knows, 2 away games and 6 great points so hopefully Anfield will be appreciative and buzzing - late afternoon Sunday is a good KO time too
Yes but didn't want to be the **** that pointed out out and jinxed it
They've been in good form of late and have gotten the plaudits to boot.
If we manage to batter them not only do we get three crucial points, we make Sakho look even better!
Let's hope their form at Southampton suggests they're shot away from home (where they are very strong....like Burnley 
)
Anyway, let's assume that they will be organised and look to break. Dangerous game for us with two very fast wingers who are the real danger for us. Stop them and you stop Palace.

They have exactly what's needed to beat us. Examples try what you say. Fast wide men and a counter from a organised defence.
so did West Brom
West Brom have no pace. They had height and set piece prowess. We coped with this well as it turned out. Palace offer a different type of threat. That said, hopefully they'll be too busy defending to try to score!
