Crystal Palace prepare to entertain West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 19 previous games, with the Eagles winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Selhurst Park was just last season, in September 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.
