A look at the Eagles

Our London rivals are currently just one place below us in fifth. They have accumulated a total of 22 points from 15 games played. The south London outfit have been in a tough period having lost their last four games in all competitions - a stretch that has seen the Eagles knocked out of the FA Youth Cup and Premier League Cup.

Leading the pack for Palace is forward Zach Marsh who has 16 goals and four assists in just 12 league games.

In the reverse fixture earlier in the season, both sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in which we scored a late equaliser to secure a point.
