We will either get the Arsenal backlash after they couldn't beat West Ham or we will get a miracle win. No inbetween 

[True Blue]

Southampton piss poor, struggling for points...West Ham And Palace rings a bell hope not tough. Hopefully Morata "healed" his back problem and is rested for Saturday, the 3-4-3 works when the team plays well like on Tuesday. 

[Toony]

3-0 Arsenal.

[SirBalon]

We’ll probably beat Newcastle comfortably and it’s not because I think there’s much in it but because that’s the way the season is going and it’s actually a blessing in disguise for Arsene Wenger due to the fact there isn’t a run of results going one way or another.  It’s a sign of the times at Arsenal these days that the victory against Spurs has appeased a large proportion of the mongaloid brigade at The Emirates.

3-4-3 works when Cesc isn't in it

And when the team is capable of completing a few passes without giving possession away all the time. Also when we are not playing a team who has 5 midfielders

Everything points to us winning this and quite frankly nothing scares me more.

Conceding at home to Palace isn't allowing me to sleep properly.

[RandoEFC+]

Should be a nailed on win and another clean sheet. Should be.

 Yeah. Really scares me that we haven't lost in six games and were guaranteed to lose to the mighty Claude Puels Leicester City.

I can see this being similar to the Newcastle game where we seem to battle well, not create clear chances, and Leicester win by a lapse of concentration on our part and class on theirs. A bit like two years ago.

[Cicero]

Batshuayi

Hazard-------------Willian

Pedro----Bakayoko----Drinkwater----Moses

Cahill----Christensen---Azpilicueta

Courtois

Alonso can't be dropped

Four wins on the bounce at home to a side who haven't scored away in 9 months? Your run of 6 games didn't include a game against a side as good as us. I'd say we'd be considered favourites.

Losing to Palace would be scarier

You are favourites but your arrogance is rather astounding. We're not an easy turnover any more.

[Rick]

Leicester are not Man City. There is a very real chance of them being beaten by any side in this league. Palace are no mugs, may have started horribly but they are better than a lot of the teams surrounding them. Would be surprised at all to see them win today. 

[RandoEFC+]

Leicester are obviously favourites. No idea why this has caused such a backlash. Home advantage, better side, better form. Nobody called them Man City and nobody called Palace mugs. 

Doesn't mean they can't fudge it though. In fact now that I've backed Leicester in the tipping competition Palace are probably comfortable favourites. 

[Dave]

Thank you West Brom. Because you've hired The Croydon Shagger Sky Sports have resulted in replacing him with a true fan favourite in Clinton Morrison 

[LFCMike]

Schmeichel got to be doing better there

[RandoEFC+]

Maybe @Teso dos Bichos was right about Leicester after all

. . . . and you were ALL wrong about the appointment of Roy Hodgson

Liverpool should have stuck with him. 

Palace need to bring Pardew back though to teach Zaha some better dance moves than that.

[Inverted]

Paul needs to pull the finger out here.
