Stoke City ended a run of three successive defeats with a 3-2 win over Arsenal last weekend, The Potters now travel to Selhurst Park to take on 15th placed Palace.
Stoke are yet to secure back-to-back wins in The Premier League this season, but could do just that if they could upset Neil Warnock's men tomorrow.
Mark Hughes' side tasted defeat on their last trip to The Eagles when former Potters' boss Tony Pulis was at the helm. He handed Stoke City a 1-0 defeat after Jason Puncheon's first half strike.
Since then Pulis has been replaced by Warnock and the fixture holds less precedence for Stoke fans now Tony Pulis isn't in charge, but they will still be in full song hoping another three points away from home will lift them into the top half of the table.
This season Stoke have registered wins over teams who currently occupy top ten places in the League, with successes over Man City, Tottenham and Arsenal, whilst they struggled to overcome the challenge of Burnley and Leicester City.
Take nothing away from Mark Hughes side this season, they are a hard team to predict and with Bijan set to continue his current run of form, Crystal Palace need to be firing on all cylinders to stop him.
Team News
Damien Delaney will hope to start for Palace after recovering from a calf injury, but Joe Ledley and Jonny Williams are set to miss out.
Stoke's Jonathan Walters is expected to shake off a knee problem, although Hughes revealed Marc Muniesa is a major doubt with a hamstring problem.
Robert Huth, who made his first Premier League appearance in more than 12 months last weekend, could be in-line for a start at Selhurst Park which would be his 150th appearance for Stoke.
Stats
Stoke City have scored 19 goals in their last 20 away matches, while Crystal Palace have scored 22 goals in their last 20 home matches.
The Potters have picked up just two points from six games against sides in the bottom half of the table, while they have gained 16 points from nine games against those in the top half of the Premier League.
Crouch's strike after just 19 seconds is the quickest in the top flight this season, and the earliest Arsenal have ever conceded in the Premier League.
The big man is now set to make his 600th club career appearance at Selhurst Park on Saturday. This includes Premier League, First Division, Isthmian League and Swedish Second Division appearances!
Prediction
Stoke City are in good form away from home this season and will still be on a high from the Arsenal win, that being said Crystal Palace could hand Stoke tricky fixture here.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Stoke City
