Crystal Palace prepare to entertain Preston North End at Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Eagles are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 4 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was less than a year ago, in April 2007, with Crystal Palace running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Championship match.
