		Last season Alan Pardew fielded an under strength team against a Portsmouth side in desperate need of points, it is ironic that the points earned from their victory helped keep them in the Premiership.
		Alan Pardew and Gareth Southgate both played for Palace and both would have relished the opportunity to go out and 'strut their stuff', however, as managers both have had a hard time of it recently, it was always going to be a tight match.
