The Football League
The international break couldn’t have come at a worse time for Palace but they should be confident of another win in front of Sky’s cameras at home to Barnsley, by Danny Hayes.
Seven points out of a possible nine has seen the Eagles soar out of the relegation zone and they now lie just three points off the play-offs in an incredibly tight division, which makes home games against Barnsley all the more important to win.
And there is no reason why they shouldn’t be confident of taking the three points. The Tykes have just two wins to their names this season, and one of those was against a woeful Doncaster side last time.
With Warnock able to name the same starting 11 again and Palace recapturing the form that saw them reach the play-offs last season they should hold far too many aces for Barnsley and a 2-0 victory looks the most likely outcome.
Crystal Palace to win 2-0 @ 7/1 with SportingBet
Also in the Championship this weekend I fancy a treble on Bristol City to defeat Norwich, Southampton to beat Watford and Wolves to overcome Coventry, which is around the 7/1 mark. While in the Premier League I think Middlesbrough are far too big a price to beat Chelsea in the lunchtime kick off.
