Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace have struggled for form as the Eagles currently sit 15th in the table with 24 points from 23 games, and they are just five points clear of the relegation zone.
Pressure piles on Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, as Palace have won just two of their last 12 Premier League games, playing three draws and losing seven. The Eagles suffered a horrific 5-0 defeat to Arsenal and a 4-1 defeat to their rivals, Brighton, in their last three Premier League outings.
