Preview: Palace - Town


By Aston
August 20 2010

Town take on George Burley’s Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park tomorrow afternoon, with a handful of former Town players in the Eagles squad. Town will be missing Troy Brown, Luciano Civelli, Connor Wickham, Damien Delaney and Mark Kennedy while Carlos Edwards is a slight doubt and Darren O'Dea could make his Town debut.

Town manager Roy Keane: "I think it will be a cracking game anyway but with the manager there and the other connections, it adds a little bit extra to the game, Palace had a good win in their first game at home (against Leicester) and we know they have some top players.

"Wrighty and Garvs were good servants to this Club. They certainly have nothing to prove to anyone but I've got to try and change things around here.

"We had a tough game there last year and were unfortunate with Steady getting sent-off but we are looking forward to it.

"I've been very pleased with the spirit, attitude and energy of the players. We know it will be a difficult game. Hopefully we will have good support there and like I say, it should be a cracker."

Got a prediction on the game? Leave it below.
