Crystal Palace

Following on from a loss in their previous game against Burnley in Premier League action, Crystal Palace and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The stats tell the story, and Crystal Palace have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 13 goals in total. At the back, The Eagles certainly have room for improvement.
