Roll up, roll up, Crystal Palace are in town. Those words were hardly necessary during Roy Hodgson’s era at Selhurst Park, despite admiration for what the ex-England manager did at the club. But there is a change of emphasis under Patrick Vieira and early signs suggest they are going to be the Premier League’s new entertainers.
Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Burnley was a fine example and there have now been 22 goals in the Eagles’ six matches on their travels. They suffered comprehensive defeats at Liverpool and Chelsea, but have scored at least two in their four other away games, highlighted by a big win at Manchester City last month.
