Crystal Palace are down to 11th in the Premier League and are having a really tough time of it at present. They've earned just two points from their last six league games but it's scoring that is the real problem. Six league games have produced just one goal and it was a Spurs defender who scored that one for them. While their dreams of making the Europa League start to fade (they're still only five points off the top six), they did manage to beat Southampton away in the FA Cup Third Round. Such is football that Palace could easily go on a Cup run but they can't be trusted enough to be backed to win. Stoke City managed to win over 120 minutes at Anfield on Tuesday but lost out on penalties in the Capital One Cup semi-final. Now they have another chance to get on the road to Wembley. Stoke have already lost three games in January so again they're difficult to predict and there's that big question over whether manager Mark Hughes will leave out players with another Premier League game due in midweek. Stoke are also finding it hard to score with just one goal in the last three (one being 120 minutes). I go for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
