Jason Puncheon: 'Crystal Palace must remain focused'

Jason Puncheon has claimed that Crystal Palace must stay focused in their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

The Eagles are currently two points clear of the drop zone following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to Southampton.

Puncheon has now urged his teammates to concentrate on their own form and not worry about what the other sides around them are doing.

"The games are getting thinner now. We've got 10 games left and we've got to get points," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"We've got to concentrate on us, worry what we do and try and get the points on the table."

Palace return to Premier League action on Saturday when they make the trip to fellow strugglers Sunderland.
