Crystal Palace, after two successful rounds in which they scored five goals, had to accept defeat again, as they lost 0:3 to Tottenham in the London derby on Boxing Day. Moreover, Patrick Vieira's players did not manage their last home game against Southampton very well, as they conceded two quick goals (2:2) and missed the chance to move into the better half of the table. The entire standings are marked by different number of games played, but a look at Palace's last five appearances doesn't look quite right (1-1-3). But a home clash with last-place Norwich (2-4-12) should fix that. Dean Smith's players need to work hard to avoid falling back into the losing spiral they managed to break quite successfully between October and December (2-4-2), although their ten points this season represent the worst points haul Norwich have achieved at this stage in their last five seasons among the elite. Moreover, last week's defeat to Arsenal was their fourth in a row and after a brief glimmer of hope for survival, hard reality seems to be setting in again.
H2H:
Norwich 1:1 Palace
Palace 2:0 Norwich
Palace 1:0 Norwich
Prediction:
Crystal Palace @ 1.61 (bet365)
