Crystal Palace v West Brom: match preview

Crystal Palace v West Brom
Crystal Palace v West Brom: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Time continues to slip away for West Brom’s bid for survival as they sit nine points from the last safe spot so beating Crystal Palace is an absolute must. A glance at the form book suggests this is rather unlikely. Sam Allardyce’s side have scored two goals in their past six games and have won only once in 13 matches on the road this season. Talisman Wilfried Zaha’s return to fitness should give Palace the edge and ratchet up the pressure on Allardyce even further. Graham Searles
