Crystal Palace – West Bromwich Albion Betting: Expect entertainment when Pulis

On the Eagles’ injury problems, Pardew added: “I’m a bit frustrated at the moment because so many key players missing”.

Connor Wickham, Mile Jedinak, Damien Delaney and Joel Ward are all in line to return following the worldwide break.

Pardew said his medical team expected all four to be available again for Palace’s next match, against West Ham United on October 17.

Alan Pardew is not expecting West Brom to repeat their defensive meltdown against Everton when they visit Crystal Palace.

This will be Alan Pardew’s 26th PL game with Palace, the same number Tony Pulis oversaw at the club in the competition.

However, when asked whether the player was set for a new deal, Pardew said: “It’s not something I’m aware of”.

“He knows me well”.

With 10 goals scored in the last three meetings between the teams, even money (2.00) quotes certainly look appetising on both teams finding the net when they come face-to-face in what should prove an entertaining clash on Saturday.

Pulis performed miracles to keep the Eagles in the top flight in the 2013/14 season – a feat for which he was acknowledged with the Premier League Manager of the Year Award.

“Signing Yannick Bolasie was a real boost for us and having key players under long contracts bodes well going forward”.

“I don’t think we got enough credit for the Watford win“.

Victory over Watford last weekend ended a run of two successive defeats for Palace in the league, and Pardew believes the performance at Vicarage Road gives him a platform to build from. “If he’d scored those two goals he’d have been man of the match”.
