The weekend’s Premier League action kicks off at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace face Queens Park Rangers.

The Eagles have taken just four points from the last twelve available in the league, but sit eight points clear of the relegation zone with just ten games to play.

They have won just three home league games all season, but will be confident in taking the points against a side who have lost all but one of their games on the road since the returned to the top flight.

Palace are without captain Miles Jedinak and fellow midfielder Jordan Mutch through suspension and injury respectively, though striker Glenn Murray returns after serving his ban.

Marouane Chamakh and Yaya Sanogo are both back in training after recovering from hamstring injuries, and will be assessed ahead of kick off.

Dwight Gayle is favourite to open the scoring at 6.0 (5/1) with Bet 365, with Wilfried Zaha a 10.0 (9/1) chance with Betfair.

The home win is widely available at 1.8 (4/5) with a variety of firms, with the visitors as highly price as the 5.4 (22/5) on offer from Bet Victor, who price the draw at 3.75 (11/4).

Three defeats in a row have left Chris Ramsay’s side in the relegation zone, but three points here will see them move, if only for a few hours, out of the bottom three.

Skipper Joey Barton misses out as he serves the final game of a three match suspension, while Darnell Furlong could return after missing last weekend’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur through injury.

Top scorer Charlie Austin is widely available at 7.0 (6/1) to get the first goal of the game, ahead of Bobby Zamora, who is a 13.0 (12/1) chance with Betfair.

The two sides played out a goalless draw at Loftus Road back in December, a result which extended Rangers’ unbeaten run against the Eagles to seven matches.

QPR have kept four clean sheets in that run, so you may be tempted to back them to do so this time around at 4.75 (15/4) with Coral while the away win to nil is 9.0 (8/1) with Bet Victor.
