Match preview

Crystal Palace have an FA Cup quarter-final to look forward to after Tuesday's 2-1 success at home to Stoke, and they can move closer to ensuring Premier League survival by defeating Wolves at Molineux.

Patrick Vieira would love to steer Palace to the FA Cup final but his first task is to make sure his side stay up.

His team have a nine-point gap to the drop zone and are in a stronger position after winning 4-1 at Watford and drawing at home to Burnley.

Palace have avoided defeat on their last five road trips and they are probably facing Wolves at a good time.

Bruno Lage's men have taken a couple of hits to their top-six hopes with losses away to Arsenal and West Ham and their sticky spell could be extended by Palace, who can soak up Wolves' pressure and hit them on the break.

Key stat

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last five away matches.
