They are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Fulham last time out in the Premier League and will be desperate to bounce back against a fellow struggling Crystal Palace. Palace are having an inconsistent campaign this season and head into the fixture sitting 12^th on 22 points from 22 games. They suffered a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham in their previous league match and will be looking to bounce back on Sunday.
