Crucial game for both teams i must say as both are trying to get into the Premier League. Stoke are in the better position in current 2nd place and if they win tonight they go on top. Palace on the other hand, if they win they go 6th.

So as you can see its an important game for both. Im backing Stoke to win.



Promotion-chasing Stoke can call on top scorer Ricardo Fuller and defender Ryan Shawcross for Crystal Palace's visit as both have completed two-match bans.

Midfielder Salif Diao (torn hamstring) is out and central defender Leon Cort faces a fitness test on a calf strain.

Palace striker James Scowcroft is doubtful after being forced off against Blackpool with a hamstring strain.

Full-back Lee Hills is available after overcoming a shin injury while Clint Hill is able to face his former club.

0-2 Palace half time. 2 cracking goals.

Palace been the better team anyway. Jose Fonte "sp" scored his first goal for palace on loan from benfica.

I cannot bare to see any team under that moron Warnock do well.

Watching bits of the game. Swapping in between that game and Aberdeen on setanta.

I'm caught in two minds, I hate to see Warnock get any kind of a win but defeat for Stoke may affect there promotion chances, which would be good for everyone. For themselves a because they would have very little chance of staying up and for everyonelse because Stoke is a horrible away trip and they have a high percentage of Moronic fans.

Fantastic result for Bristol.

Really need Bristol to get promoted - Newcastle Jets will get $1 million if they go up as part of a clause in Nick Carle's contract

Its a setback from Stoke. They should be fine for promotion but. As for Palace it was a crucial win as thye can still get promotion via playoffs.

Hello to all! A Watford fan here. I couldn't help but become a Warnock fan just for one game, every point gained or lost is crucial at this stage. To be honest I thought that Palace were perhaps a little lucky to come away with a win, Stoke were really pressing towards the end and deserved a point I'd say.

Watching the game it seems clear to me that both Watford and Stoke do have very similar styles of play. It will be interesting to see if a more direct approach will end up being the way to get promoted from the Championship or not. I'm the first to admit that watching Watford isn't always much fun, but I really don't mind that if we end up in the top two.

lol, i'll root for bristol as well then.

i love the championship atm, theres little groups where everything is so tight. the group at the top fighting for the automatic spots. then there's the teams fighting for the play off places, and also the fight down the bottom for survival. it really is going to go to the wire this season.

julain speroni what a sh1t hot goalkeeper. Dundee miss him
