Crystal Palace pack their bags to visit Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Eagles.

The previous match played between the two at Glanford Park Stadium was within the last three years, in November 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
