Stoke v Crystal Palace Preview
Stoke City’s Premier League status is floundering on the rocks, the Potters are three points behind 17th-placed Swansea with only two games to play and the Welsh club have a game in hand.
Glen Johnson and Eric Choupo-Moting face fitness tests ahead of Stoke’s must win game against Palace at the weekend and Paul Lambert may have to continue with 37-year-old Peter Crouch leading line. The former England striker has been covering for injuries and has only managed four goals from 12 starts and 17 substitute appearances this season.
Crystal Palace striker Connor Wickham is back in training but is unlikely to be fit enough to resume first team duties. Christian Benteke has been unable to regain his place since recovering from injury as Roy Hodgson sticks to the fruitful pairing of Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend. With Scott Dann, Jason Puncheon and Bakary Sako sidelined, the manager should have no reason to change the side that won 5-0 against Leicester last weekend.

Stoke v Crystal Palace Prediction
Stoke still have an outside chance of survival and will take encouragement from last week’s 0-0 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. However, Paul Lambert’s side has gone 12 games without a win and have lost three of the last six at home.
Palace are finishing the season strongly and have climbed away from the relegation zone with one defeat in the last six games. They are unbeaten in the last three away games having won 2-0 at Huddersfield and earned draws at Bournemouth (2-2) and Watford (0-0).
Palace have a match winning threat in Wilfried Zaha but may have to settle for a point against a Stoke side that can still make it difficult for visitors to the bet365 Stadium.
