Leading from the eighth minute until the 83rd, Hodgson's side then conceded a quickfire double to all but condemn them to relegation from the Premier League for a fourth time. Mathematically, that has not been confirmed yet, with Watford 12 points from safety with 12 points still up for grabs, but anything other than a win for them this weekend would rubber-stamp it, as would any points for Burnley and Leeds United regardless of what Watford do. While that late defeat to Burnley was the final nail in Watford's coffin, the real damage had been done long before then, and a run of five consecutive defeats since the beginning of April has seen them go down with a whimper in the end. Patrick Vieira has enjoyed a positive first season at the helm, rebuilding the team from the Hodgson era and steering them to 12th place, only three points off ninth-placed rivals Brighton & Hove Albion. Turning draws into wins will be one of the main targets for next season, with Palace sharing the spoils on a league-high 14 occasions and winning just nine times so far this term, but they have also only lost 11 games - the same number as Champions League hopefuls Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Consistency in results will be another target for 2022-23, but Palace are already showing signs of consistency on the defensive front, with only Manchester City and Liverpool having conceded fewer goals since the beginning of February. Indeed, the Eagles have now kept a clean sheet in each of their last three home league games - including against Man City and Arsenal - and could make that four in a row for the first time ever in the Premier League this weekend.

Enjoy the game, it might be a shock result.
It is away .. Seem to be more competitive on the road save for Wolves and Man C. Glad I am not going. Palace fans will be gloating Zaha will be loving it Hughes is bound to score .
We were above them a few seasons back............... We will ironically probably win this..............
I think Burnley are safe on GD unless they lose all four by 4 or5 nil. Leeds need a point. More interested in beating neverton.
I hope Burnley go down.... if any of them do... still a localish match up here for us.... But Burnley the least strong team on paper to bounce back
Just as well the game doesn’t really matter . 2 of our better players out injured and another who might at least try to tackle . Louza Pedro Kucka
True. But the Toffees have to go down. (Obviously I’m not the sort of person to bear a grudge for 38 years)
Their main worry might be a points deduction for financial issues but you’d think they would be ok on the pitch even with losing key players .
Afternoon all, are we looking forward to the wake? Every stream on Weak streams seems to be blocked again and I don't know how to bypass it but I do have this one running http://motornews.live/novo/events/07-oggi-Crystal/ So with the pressure off will we thrash CP or just can't be bothered Lets hope it's entertaining which should be what sport is all about COYH
http://motornews.live/novo/events/07-oggi-Crystal/ this is working but that bloke who hits a wooden block every few seconds is back again!
