History of the Plymouth Argyle v Crystal Palace fixture

Crystal Palace face a trip to Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Eagles will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2007, the Pilgrims carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Championship match.
