Crystal Palace face an injury crisis in defence after James Tomkins suffered a serious ankle injury in the win at Liverpool that could end his season.

Fellow centre-back Scott Dann remains sidelined after missing three weeks with a knee ligament problem.

Arsenal v Leicester C (7:45pm KO)
Middlesbrough v Sunderland (7:45pm)
Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur (8:00pm)

Palace are playing Sakho, no big deal.

Palace to lose would be funny.

I wouldn't mind seeing Arsenal win, I'd love them to get 4th spot and win a final just to see the reaction of gooners.

Boro and Sunderland - draw or Sunderland win for more laughs.

currently watching Boro/Sunderland - good take by De Roon there

Does anybody else feel absolutely certain that we're going to lose versus Palace? I'm usually quite positive with my predictions but I actually think we'll be beaten very comfortably

If Palace get a result tonight, maybe they'll ease off on Saturday

We're in the 'Law of Averages' world now, Indigo.

Fear not. Put your feet up and pour a large one.
We'll sneak at least a point & have Fat Sam chewing wasps in his post match interview.
Not a pretty sight, l know.
But it'll be worth a watch.

Just to ease your fears a little, Palace have the longest odds of winning out of our, Hull's and Swansea's opponents this weekend.

Don't worry, we're going to be fine.

Does anyone else think that our away form could start affecting away attendances?

Mind boggling when you think of the miles, the money, the time we've all dedicated to watching us away with zero (practically) return.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 8:41 pm

Plarse giving Spurs a real run for their money so far.

That does help a bit actually! My concerns stem from our poor away record, poor form in general and Palace's remarkable improvement under Allardyce. I think it's just late jitters due to the results not going our way last weekend. I'm sure we'll be fine though.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 8:52 pm

On this showing, we will be very lucky to get anything at Palace. A good side.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 8:57 pm

Palace have been OK but Spurs are far from their usual standard.
Dembele going off injured and Trips on for Walker would perk them up.

I agree, however, had we taken our chances we would have given Everton a real run for their money!

This could be a good boost if Sakho is injured.

I wish him a speedy recovery for Sunday.

They did pretty bloody well without him at Anfield on Sunday!

Be careful what you wish for..........

Didn't Delaney makes Barnes & co. look like world beaters in the home game?

Media claiming Zaha I worth £30-40 million at present and probably going to move this summer.

Benteke subbed after they go behind.
Has BFS tossed this one off and saving him for Saturday? Or is he injured?

To be fair to him, I don't think he actually touched the ball in the second half as it was just one-way traffic!

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed Apr 26, 2017 10:08 pm

Any result that keeps team just above us in the fight is great, any injuries to teams we are playing also helps.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 8:16 pm

What's the best result for us - Man City v Man U. considering Man U. have Swansea in their next home game?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 8:20 pm

Don't think it'll matter, tbh.

Can't see United slipping up against Swans.

Fellaini throws a wobbler, sent off.

At least it's livened things up. Out of the Swansea game.

No it's not.

Anyway, a draw will still keep Manure hungry for the next game.

big problem for United now for the next 3 games, not much height to defend set pieces
