Palace boss, Peter Taylor welcomes his former club to Selhurst Park today, having left the Humberside side in the summer, after guiding them to two promotions.
He is sure to have a little inside knowledge to pass on to his players. The South Londoners have a strong squad, one which has been strengthened by the signing of Paul Ifill for £750k from Sheffield United, he should make his home debut today.
Palace sit 7 points off the play-off places and are in fine current form, unbeaten in 6, they have won the last 3, scoring 9 goals in the process and have won 5 of their last 6 home starts. With a difficult looking trip to Sunderland up next, Taylor will want the points in the bag, from the visit of Hull, who sit one spot above the drop zone.
City have added Dean Windass to their squad and he may partner Jon Parkin up front, in what is a heavyweight duo, in all meanings of the word. Parkin is listed at 85 kilos in his profile, yes, when he left school and I can run the 100 metres in 9.6 seconds !
No doubt that this pair have talent, just wouldn't like to take them to lunch, they must make up the heaviest strike force in world football and that includes matching Ronaldo with anyone !
Opposing fans are going to have a field day.
Just in case, either of them ever get to see this, only joking boys !
I expect Palace to win and with 7 of their next 9, against teams currently 13th or lower in the table, to put in a late push for a top 6 place.
4 points Crystal Palace -1/2 ball 1.86 asian line.
Good Luck.
