Palace showing signs of life under Hodgson

Kick-off 7.45pm Tuesday

Crystal Palace have been stuck at the foot of the table for two-and-a-half months but can move up two places by beating Brighton at the Amex.

Brighton were unlucky to lose 1-0 at Manchester United on Saturday.

That was the Seagulls' first loss in six but it also left them only six points above the drop zone.

Survival looks achievable but they put a big effort into the match at Old Trafford and may be vulnerable against the Eagles, who are growing in confidence and have the pace to hurt them on the counter-attack.

Recommendation
Crystal Palace draw no bet
