The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Norwich City, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Crystal Palace 1-0 Norwich City

Despite the absence of Zaha and several others on Tuesday, Palace will be expected to register three points against struggling Norwich. We are only predicting a narrow victory however, with the hosts looking a far poorer side without their key man in it in recent years, but as things stand it looks difficult to predict when the next points are going to arrive for a Norwich side severely lacking in quality and experience.
