Your support makes all the difference.Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew keeps the faith with Emmanuel Adebayor for the trip to face West Bromwich Albion in the late kick-off.
The Eagles triumphed at Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup to ease the burden on their manager but remain without a Premier League victory in nine matches.
The Togo striker scored against Watford fortnight ago but failed to add to his tally at White Hart Lane, the home of his former club.
Palace also start with Connor Wickham alongside Adebayor while Wilfried Zaha and Yohan Cabaye offer more attacking threat in midfield.
West Brom head coach Tony Pulis, meanwhile, calls upon Stephane Sessegnon and Salomon Rondon in the attacking positions.
The Hawthorns crowd have voiced their displeasure with the Baggies style of football lately but Pulis is likely to stick to what he knows best as the fight to stay in the division heats up.
Palace, on the other hand, are just beginning to look over their shoulders.
