Roy Hodgson has certainly steadied the ship at Crystal Palace over the last month or so.
Following their hard-fought draw against Bournemouth last weekend, the Eagles have extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games, unfortunately that run on includes one win but they’ve developed a hard-to-beat formula of late.
Still rooted to the bottom of the table, Palace are now within touching distance of safety and they have begun to turn Selhurst Park into a bit of a fortress in recent weeks as they prepare to welcome Watford to south London.
Palace have been dealt a huge blow with defender Mamadou Sakho being ruled out for several weeks due to a calf injury, while Joel Ward is also set to miss out.
