Crystal Palace prepare to entertain Norwich City at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Eagles are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 11 of the 49 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was less than a year ago, in April 2005, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Premiership match.
