Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has admitted this weekend's match against Leeds United will be "challenging" as Jesse Marsch's side prepares to travel to Selhurst Park.
The Whites have had a good start to the season as they sit in 12th but are winless over their last four matches - their last win coming back in mid-August in the form of a 3-0 win over Chelsea.
The Eagles, on the other hand, sit just above the relegation zone having only won one match all season - a 3-1 win over Aston Villa.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Vieira highlighted Leeds' good start to the season and noted how his side will have to be more clinical going forward if they want all three points.
"It’s going to be a challenging game. We know how good they can be and how well they can play. At the same time we’re at home and I’ve been pleased with the way we’ve played the last couple of games, even if we didn’t get the results we deserved.
"We need to improve some parts to allow us to win football matches. We have to be at our best. We have to take our chances.
"We have to be more clinical in both areas of the field. And [we have to] play the way we know we can."
