Your support makes all the difference.Crystal Palace travel to The Hawthrons this Saturday, to take on West Brom, looking to avoid three straight league defeats.
Neil Warnock’s side are down to 16 in the league, a point and two places below West Brom, having lost four of their opening eight games, the Baggies have also only managed two wins this season.
A late winner from Daley Blind prevented West Brom from taking all three points against Manchester United on Monday night, but Alan Irvine’s men have picked up seven points in the last four matches. And with Saido Berahino they boast a genuine goal threat, the England under-21 striker has scored four in his last three games for the Baggies as he continues to push for a call up to Roy Hodgson’s senior side.
