2 fewer games than then in last 3 weeks and extra day rest.

Also helps that they're away at Newcastle. The Jaudis are a physical team and it's a longish trip back.

Palace lost 2-0. Hopefully they carry this form on into our game.

We have to think about how we get at them. We’re in better form clearly, but they’ve had our number in part due to their tactical approach. They don’t have Sarr, but we need to shut them down better.

W0 D3 L4 is their current run, as expected their constant fixtures and not much of a squad is screwing them up.

They do, and it’s time we deal with that.

No way, this is the best chance we'll ever get to beat them. No Sarr, no form, no set-piece prowess. It's time to burn the Eagles.

I was feeling confident about possibly getting a 1-1 draw with our current run of form, but then we lost bad to Arsenal.

I think Clyne got injured at Newcastle and a centre back had a concussion injury so an even smaller Palace squad...
