This is something of a relegation clash, as Crystal Palace enter this game sat in 22nd position while their opponents are just a few places higher in 17th. It’s been a miserable season for both, especially Bristol City who were tipped for great success after a highly active summer in the transfer market.
It’s a well known fact that Crystal Palace have very little money and that could be the reason why instead of appointing an established manager, the Eagles promoted from within and gave Dougie Freedman the reins at the start of the month. Time will tell if that was a wise decision, although the Eagles certainly enter this fixture with some poor form behind them having lost their last two games against Coventry and Swansea respectively. It now means that the club are sat in the final relegation place although with just two points separating them from safety, their season certainly isn’t over yet.
It wasn’t too long ago that Bristol City were suffering from all sorts of problems but thankfully for them, their form has picked up ever so slightly in recent months and they now have at least some breathing space between them and the bottom three. The Robins have collected thirty one points from their opening fixtures and that now means that they are six points clear from the drop zone
