The high flying “Roman Army” square up against Sam Allardyce’s Crystal Palace in today’s early kick off at the bridge and the Spainiard believes the Italian deserves all the accolades for bringing his innovative methods to bear on the team’s fortunes.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace goal keeper Wayne Hennessy is hopeful that his side can pull a surprise against the highly consistent league leaders and earn another three points on the bounce.

Belgian Christian Benteke will likely spearhead his side’s attack as first choice striker Connor Wickham is out with a knee problem.
