How Crystal Palace can use the FA Cup as a springboard

Skipper Luka Milivojevic has been impressive, proving an unmovable object at the heart of the midfield.

The Serbian has bagged six goals so far this season and has great dead ball delivery.  He has only missed two of 16 penalties for Palace since 2017.

Andros Townsend has also been a large part of anything good Palace have done this season. The former Spurs man scored against his former club last weekend and netted a thunderous volley against City last year.

Wickham striking back?

Palace are crying out for someone to put the ball in the back of the net. Christian Benteke was meant to be that guy. But after 15 league goals in his first season, he’s gone off the boil.

Townsend with seven goals is the club’s current top scorer, but they could have an ace up their sleeve in this relegation battle of wits.

Connor Wickham has finally returned from the knee injury that has kept him out from November 2016.

He looked visibly overwhelmed after notching on his return to the starting line-up against Tottenham.

If that goal can be the catalyst for the 25-year-old to rediscover his form, then Palace could be looking up rather than over their shoulder.

They travel to Southampton tonight in a huge clash at the bottom of the table. The away side can be found at 21/10 to win, with Wickham to score anytime at 13/5.
