With our confidence on the up again, could we possibly sneak a point at Chelsea ? Costa was the difference last time, but we have Sakho in there now to mark him. My real concern would be Hazard up against Ward. Zaha up again Moses will be very interesting.

Palace to win.
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

Not looking at specific matches over the next 5. Over the next 5 if we can pick up 4 or 5 that'll do. It's what the managers like Sam and Pulis make sure their teams do. Quietly accumulate points. If we do that Hull will need to have picked 10 to go above us. They'll then have us in their last 4 and we'll have 5 with the one in hand being Spurs. Can they keep up that pressure? 4-0 away at Everton is tough to take. We've got the 3 wins with west Brom being a needed draw and possible win. Next test is the trickle of points in the next 5. Sam will have us very hard to break down for a while now and if we get that trickle of points we'll do it I think.

Doubtful. Arsenal, Liverpool, City, Spurs and Utd slip up more often - we might get 4 points or more from these difficult games.

I think a point is possible; Chelsea struggled with Stoke today and West Ham before that. Plus, we were beating Chelsea before it became fashionable...
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

That gets us to 32 points with Hull and Burnley to play at Selhurst. I'm targeting 38 points as a good total, and it's achievable without any points from the top 6 teams we face (Arsenal at home will be interesting).

Keep eye on West Ham, they simply cannot afford not to pickup points. They have just about the same sort of bad run in as us, with Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and Liverpool, plus Stoke away which will not be easy.
