Crystal Palace prepare to entertain Watford at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Eagles are clearly on top, winning 51.02% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was less than a year ago, in October 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Championship match.
