BREAKING TEAM NEWS - West Ham v Fulham (1500 GMT) Joe Cole and Ravel Morrison are dropped to the bench as West Ham boss Sam Allardyce makes four changes from the side that lost at home to Chelsea last weekend. Cole stormed straight down the tunnel after being substituted in the 40th minute against his old club. Jack Collison and Joey OBrien are also left out by Allardyce, with George McCartney, Mohamed Diame, Modibo Maiga and Matt Jarvis the men coming in. Carlton Cole is also among the substitutes. Fulham are without Dimitar Berbatov so Darren Bent leads the line. West Ham XI: Jaaskelainen, McCartney, Nolan, Tomkins, Jarvis, Maiga, Noble, Collins, Demel, Diame, Downing. Fulham XI: Stekelenburg; Zverotic, Hughes, Amorebieta, Richardson; Duff, Sidwell, Parker, Kasami; Taarabt; Bent. 1408: FULL-TIME - Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton 1407: BREAKING TEAM NEWS - Aston Villa v Sunderland (1500 GMT) Aston Villa welcome back Gabby Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann to their starting XI, while Sunderland make three changes as Fabio Borini comes back in. Villa XI: Guzan, Bacuna, Vlaar, Clark, Luna, Delph, Westwood, El Ahmadi, Agbonlahor, Benteke, Weimann Sunderland XI: Mannone, Bardsley, Dossena, Brown, OShea, Ki, Gardner, Larsson, Borini, Giaccherini, Fletcher 1406: GET INVOLVED VIA 81111 Martin Cee in London: Sunderland, Crystal Palace and West Ham, who will look pretty damn stupid next year getting Championship crowds in the Olympic Stadium. 1402: BREAKING TEAM NEWS - Everton v Stoke (1500 GMT) Everton make three changes as Ross Barkley, Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas sit this one out. Stoke , as expected, are without the injured Robert Huth and Marko Arnautovic. Everton XI: Howard, Coleman, Oviedo, Distin, Jagielka, Deulofeu, Pienaar, Barry, McCarthy, Osman, Lukaku Stoke XI: Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Muniesa, Pieters; Walters, Whelan, Nzonzi, Adam, Assaidi; Crouch. 1359: CLOSE! - Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton Bournemouth sub Wes Thomas is almost that man, slamming his shot into the side-netting from a tight angle. 1356: FINAL FIVE - Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton Into the last five minutes in the early Championship game, and its looking like a draw. Can anyone find a winner? 1351: GET INVOLVED - 8111 Gaz, Derby: Stoke to go down - simple reason, Mark Hughes! How many more chairmen are going to fall for his awful CV? Craig, Fulham fan, Surrey: Fulham will lose today, sack Jol, bring Rene in and survive comfortably. Palace, Stoke and Norwich to go down for me. 1349: We should have team news from todays 1500 kick-offs in the next 10-15 minutes or so. Keep tuned for the selection shouts... 1348: Former Wales defender Kevin Ratcliffe at Cardiff City Stadium Cardiff v Arsenal (1500 GMT) This is a very tough one for Cardiff. I didnt think it was the best of Manchester United sides last week they drew against. Cardiff keep going until the bitter end, and more often than not they will get back in it. They have worked on their set- pieces, as they know that is their best option for getting goals. Listen to commentary of Cardiff v Arsenal on BBC Radio 5 live at 1500 GMT. 1345: CLOSE! - Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton Its been all Brighton since their equaliser but the hosts have a sighter of goal as Brett Pitman runs on to a neat pass but drags his shot wide from the edge of the box. Into the last 15. 1340: West Ham v Fulham (1500 GMT) To start with a striker? Or not? That is the question for Big Sam at West Ham today, with Carlton Cole hoping to get the nod. Carlton has scored six goals in his last five Premier League starts against Fulham. Get him in. West Ham have just tweeted a picture of Dean Ashton scoring against Fulham in fact. Deano may get a game if hes got any boots... 1337: Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton Into the last 25 minutes at Dean Court and its visitors Brighton who look the most likely to win it from here. Andrew Crofts has played on with his massive shiner by the way. 1334: Aston Villa v Sunderland (1500 GMT) Thats the spirit Ben. Sunderland arent cut adrift yet, far from it, and if they can keep 10 men on the pitch then they have a chance. 1334: GET INVOLVED VIA 81111 Ben in Sunderland: Sunderland have played the majority of the top eight in a row at home. Second half of the season they play the rest and will pick up points. Only few points off. 1331: Norwich v Crystal Palace (1500 GMT) Early team news from Carrow Road, where Norwich City boss Chris Hughton brings back Sebastien Bassong, striker Johan Elmander, who is on loan from Galatasaray, and Wes Hoolahan after the 2-1 defeat at Newcastle last week. Hughton says: Palace have an excellent manager in Tony Pulis. How much work Tony has been able to do with the players and how much they will be lifted by his arrival we dont know yet. But they come here on the back of two decent results - a goalless draw against Everton and a 1-0 win at Hull. The emphasis is on us. 1329: You dont actually get six points for a win in a six- pointer Rain... 1329: GET INVOLVED- # bbcfootball Rain Soovik: Crystal Palace have three six-pointers coming up. Theyll be in the Europa League spots in a week! 1328: Former Bournemouth defender John Williams at Dean Court Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton That is an absolutely unbelievable strike from Ashley Barnes. I thought he was going to curl it, but he smashed it full tilt into the top corner. That was some goal. Listen to commentary of Bournemouth v Brighton on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra now. 1327: GOAL- Bournemouth 1-1 Brighton - Ashley Barnes (55 mins) What a goal! Goodness me! Ashley Barnes controls a throw-in on his chest inside the penalty area, but there is little danger. Barnes then touches it down off his thigh before swivelling and hammering in a rising drive with his left peg from a tight angle. Lee Camp didnt sniff it! 1324: Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton Ouch indeed! Brighton midfielder Andrew Crofts wins a header in midfield before being clattered in a collision with Bournemouths Eunan OKane. Crofts is down spitting out bits of teeth by the looks of it, and when he gets to his feet he has a huge, golf-ball sized lump under his eye. Not sure if Crofts will be able to continue after that...1320: Football Focus THE LUKAKU QUESTION- Everton v Stoke (1500 GMT) John Hartson on Evertons on-loan Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku: If I was Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and I had let a player of his quality go, and he went and scored the goals that Lukaku has done for Everton, I would be embarrassed and I think Mourinho is embarrassed. He clearly doesnt want to speak about Lukaku in press conferences. He has been a great signing by Everton boss Roberto Martinez. 1318: Everton v Stoke (1500 GMT) Should Everton take the points today then Romelu Lukaku may be their match-winner. The on-loan Belgian now has the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history (minimum 20 goals), scoring every 118 minutes. Not too shabby from the big man. He was on Football Focus earlier and kind of, almost, said that he wanted to stay at Goodison Park. Its not a bad idea. If we play Champions League, yeah, why not? was his response. 1317: KICK-OFF- Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton The days early game is back in play at Dean Court. 1316: GET INVOLVED- # bbcfootball Tom Pike: Has to be Palace, Sunderland and Fulham to go down. The others around them seem to have much better team discipline and deeper squads. Daniele Meloni: Crystal Palace: Championship side. Hull: ditto. Sunderland: ruined by Di Canios signings. 1316: Everton v Stoke (1500 GMT) A match that we havent mentioned yet today is Stokes trip up the M6 to face Everton at Goodison Park. The place will still be rocking from last weeks humdinger of a Merseyside derby, and a win for the hosts this afternoon could see them move into the top four. Does it feel like a day to take advantage of the big boys not playing? Stoke of course will have other ideas. An away win for them and its back into the top half. 1310: Mute for two weeks? Thats how painful relegation can be people. Having seen my team relegated a few times, I reckon it depends on how you go down. Sometimes you have weeks, months, to get used to the idea as your season just tails away. Sometimes, as the Palace fan below can testify, you are in with a chance right up to the last kick of the season only to see it slide away. Theyre the ones that sting the most. Not talking for two weeks is a bit much though... 1307: GET INVOLVED VIA 81111 Mark in Bristol: How happy was I on the last day of the season? We were bottom at Christmas but stayed up. The Great Escape by West Brom. Ecstatic doesnt even begin to describe it. Palace Painta: Crystal Palace supporter here, the last time relegated was the hardest for me! Relegated from the Premier League last game of the season at Charlton of all places! I didnt talk to anyone for two weeks! Still hurts now to think about it. 1306: Lets not talk about Northampton and relegation today eh? Not on my watch... 1304: LEAGUE TWO PREVIEW An incredibly tight League Two table sees three points separate leaders Oxford from seventh-placed Burton who are in the final play- off spot. The credentials of Chris Wilders table toppers will be tested when they meet a fifth-placed Fleetwood side looking to rebound from a midweek defeat at Accrington Stanley. Elsewhere, Portsmouth caretaker manager Andy Awford will be hoping to prevent a sixth-straight league defeat when they travel the long distance to mid-table Hartlepool. Bottom side Northampton will be keen to make up ground when they play fellow strugglers Accrington Stanley. 1303: LEAGUE ONE PREVIEW Wolves and Leyton Orient are racing away from the rest of the division, and the pair will be hoping to maintain control of the automatic promotion spots. The Os host fourth-bottom Sheffield United, while Wolves travel to a Peterborough side that have lost five league games in a row. Third-placed Preston will look for a good result against managerless strugglers Bristol City following Sean ODriscolls midweek departure. Rotherham will aim to make up ground on the clubs in the play-off spots when they host Gillingham. At the other end of the table, second-bottom Crewe Alexandra face a Crawley side beginning life after former manager Richie Barker. Bottom-placed Notts County meet an ever- improving Brentford. 1302: CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW Blackpool manager Paul Ince returns to the touchline this afternoon after completing a five- match stadium ban with his team looking to consolidate their place in the play-off spots at home to strugglers Sheffield Wednesday. All three teams tied on 35 points at the top of the table have winnable fixtures, with leaders Burnley travelling across the Pennines to Huddersfield, Leicester hosting Millwall and QPR heading to Doncaster. Bolton are the form team in the Championship and will be looking to extend this run during Aitor Karankas first home game in charge of Middlesbrough, while second-bottom Barnsley will be hoping to make up ground on 21st-placed Birmingham when the sides meet at Oakwell. 1301: HALF-TIME- Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton 1259: Football Focus Cardiff v Arsenal (1500 GMT) John Hartson on Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey going back to his former club Cardiff today: I think Aaron will get a good reception when he goes back today. Unlike Ryan Giggs, who was booed when he played there for Manchester United, Ramsey started his career at Cardiff, and he has also scored against Swansea recently. For those reasons I think they will welcome him back. Is there a more improved player in the game than Aaron Ramsey? He has been in fine fettle for the Gunners this season. 1258: GET INVOLVED- # bbcfootball Russell Edge: Palace: Very average players, suited for the Championship. Sunderland: Lack of quality and experience. Fulham: Small squad. James Young: Can Sunderland claim their squad need time to gel? Or does that only work for the top four? Yahya A.Kadr Bashegi: Tony Pulis never being relegated? Theres always a first time and this Palace team points to that. 1256: CLOSE!- Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton Matt Ritchie again goes close from a free-kick, his effort deflecting wide this time! Ritchie has one of the worst haircuts in professional sport by the way. He looks like one of those dogs that Paris Hilton-style socialites keep in their handbag. MOTDs Steve Wilson at Upton Park West Ham v Fulham (1500 GMT) Since the shock win at Tottenham, West Ham have taken two points from five games, scoring only twice. That might be an inevitable consequence of playing without a recognised striker, a tactic which took Spurs by surprise but has not worked since. MOTDs Simon Brotherton at Carrow Road: Norwich v Crystal Palace (1500 GMT) The Tony Pulis era at Crystal Palace begins as he starts the improbable, though not impossible, quest to keep them in the Premier League. If he didnt appear to exactly jump at the chance to take over initially, theres no doubt Pulis is fully focused on the job at hand now he is on board. As has been well- documented, hes never been relegated and isnt about to suffer that fate now without a fight. MOTDs Guy Mowbray at Goodison Park Everton v Stoke (1500 GMT) Would it be too much to ask for a game as exciting as last weekends 3-3 Merseyside derby draw at Goodison? I suspect that it would, especially given recent meetings between these teams. Neither have scored more than once in seven of their last eight clashes, the exception being a 2-0 Stoke victory at the Britannia Stadium on New Years Day 2011. MOTDs Jonathan Pearce at Cardiff City stadium Cardiff v Arsenal (1500 GMT) Aaron Ramsey goes back to Cardiff as the Premier Leagues player of the season so far, and Jack Wilshere is bang on form. There are many reasons to be fearful if youre a Cardiff fan. But lets not forget the league leaders had a Champions League match on Tuesday. Wed better also remember that Cardiff have beaten Manchester City at home, held Everton and Manchester United, and were unlucky to lose to Tottenham late on. This is the first league meeting between the two since 1962. MOTDs Martin Fisher at Villa Park Aston Villa v Sunderland (1500 GMT) Travails on their travels have haunted Sunderland in 2013. Theyve lost 12 of their 15 Premier League away games in the calendar year. Unless that woeful record is improved, their chances of climbing clear of danger are slim at best. Away goals have almost been as rare as away points this season; just the two goals in total, with the last coming at Selhurst Park way back in August. 1251: Pre-match meals will be digested around the country as we approach kick-off. Whats your pre- match chow of preference? Alan Shearer style chicken and beans? Pasta? Last nights kebab...? 1249: GET INVOLVED- # bbcfootball Ned: Sunderland - need too much of a squad overhaul. Palace - still a Championship team. West Ham - only one half-decent striker. Let us know who you think will go down this season and why. 1247: Former Bournemouth defender John Williams at Dean Court Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton Matt Ritchie made a big impact as a substitute last week, and he has hit a great low strike to put Bournemouth ahead in his first start of the season. Listen to commentary of Bournemouth v Brighton on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra now. 1246: GREAT SAVE!- Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton And moments later Matt Ritchie almost has his second, with Tomasz Kuszczak making a reflex save to keep out his shot. 1244: GOAL- Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton - Matt Ritchie (29 mins) Bournemouth get the breakthrough! A free-kick is rolled short to Matt Ritchie , the former Swindon man cuts across the ball and slams in from 20 yards, with Brighton keeper Tomasz Kuszczak going the wrong way. Totally deceived by the swerve. 1241: GET INVOLVED- 81111 With reference to 1151: Ian in Rugby: An anticlimax of 0-0 draws. Josh, Brighton: I think the official term is a Mark Hughes of 0-0s. Pat, Glasgow : A Serie A of 0-0 draws. 1241: Aston Villa v Sunderland (1500 GMT) All I am asking for is a normal game with no incidents. It seems myself and Gus Poyet will have to agree to disagree this afternoon. As a live text commentator, a normal game with no incidents is not what we want. Not at all. But after the run of red cards Gus has had to swallow since he came into the Sunderland job, I can see where hes coming from! The Wes Brown incident was remarkable wasnt it? At least Wes is available today. 1240: CLOSE!- Bournemouth 0-0 Brighton The best chance of the afternoon so far - and it falls to a defender. Its always the way... Brighton right-back Inigo Calderon should hit the target when the ball bounces back into his path but the Spaniard leans back and fires over the top. 1236: Football Focus Norwich v Crystal Palace (1500 GMT) Robbie Savage on the managerial changes at the bottom of the Premier League table: It will be a huge job for Tony Pulis at Crystal Palace to keep them up but he had an effect just by watching from the stands when they won at Hull last weekend. What he has done - and Gus Poyet at Sunderland too - is give their clubs an impetus. It might give chairmen of clubs above them - like Fulham, West Ham or Norwich - something to think about. They might be thinking we should change our manager too. 1234: WHOCIANO?- Norwich v Crystal Palace (1500 GMT) Hands up, who had forgotten that Luciano Becchio plays for Norwich? Chris Hughton, you can put your hand down. The former Leeds forward has had a quiet season. Hes managed 14 minutes of football for the Canaries in fact, 14 minutes against Bury in the League Cup. If the club dont want me, what was the point of signing me? said a frustrated Becchio to the Mirror this week. And its a fair question as well. To be honest though, Norwich fans wont care who scores the winner today as long as somebody does. City have fallen into the bottom five and need a repeat of their big 3-1 win against West Ham today to steady the ship. 1232: GET INVOLVED VIA 81111 Chris in Cambridge: Current bottom three will probably be there at the end. Sunderland doomed, Crystal Palace likeable but poor and Fulham worryingly underachieving. 1230: ACROBATIC EFFORT- Bournemouth 0-0 Brighton Brett Pitman launches into an overhead kick but the Bournemouth striker cannot find a way past Tomasz Kuszczak in the Albion net. Pretty even opening quarter of an hour on the south coast. 1229: GET INVOLVED- # bbcfootball Tom Whelan: Sunderland are certainties to go down. Cant buy an away win. Poyets honeymoon period over. Palace and Fulham too. Yogesh Chande: Steve Bruce will keep Hull up! Good manager. C MacNeachtain: Sunderland, Norwich and Crystal Palace to go down. Poor team quality, questionable management and lack of game-winning players. 1229: Football Focus GIGGS AT 40 Robbie Savage, a team- mate of Ryan Giggs in Manchester Uniteds youth team at the start of the 1990s, on Giggs still looking to play on after turning 40 this week: Thats why he has been the best ever Premier League player. He is not just a brilliant player but he also has that dedication to keep going and now, with a coaching role too, he is helping the youngsters coming through. 1227: Football Focus GIGGS AT 40 John Hartson, who played alongside Ryan Giggs for Wales for a decade, thinks Giggs is still a top player at the age of 40: Ryan was magnificent for Manchester United against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League during the week. For Wales, whenever he was in our side, we always felt we had a chance to win if he could produce something special, and he is still brilliant now. When you look back at what he has done over the last 20-odd years, Ryan has been a genius. He is a fabulous player and he has had a magnificent career. 1227: GIGGS AT 40 There will be no sight of Ryan Giggs waltzing through the Manchester United midfield today, as David Moyess side are not in action until tomorrow. But a day after turning 40, everyone is talking about the Welsh wizard who continues to shine as his remarkable career goes on. And on. And on... 1221: BIG WEEK FOR BIG SAM- West Ham v Fulham (1500 GMT) West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is also starting to feel the heat after a poor start to the season, and he has not one, but two six-pointers lined up this week. After taking on Fulham this afternoon its Crystal Palace away in midweek and Big Sam is under no illusions. By the end of the next week, well either be sat in the upper reaches of the bottom half of the table, or well still be around where we are now, he says. Its a big defining week for us; the most important thing is to win points against your near rivals. Theres nobody more disappointed than I am at the minute with the results. I get to carry the burden: they get the opportunity to put it right. 1220: COURAGE UNDER FIRE- West Ham v Fulham (1500 GMT) If I was on the board or an owner I would be worrying. We need wins. Can you give yourself a vote of confidence? Martin Jol fell a bit short of that in his pre-match news conference. With a run of five defeats in a row in all competitions, Fulham are approaching, if not in, dire straits. You can lose once or twice but you cant lose four or five times on the trot, he said. That will put you in a bad position. One win will get us back among others and take the pressure off and then hopefully we could have a good run like last year. 1219: GET INVOLVED- # bbcfootball Who will go down from the Premier League this season, and why? FQiren: Palace: Championship players. Norwich: Star player(s) not performing while the rest are missing. West Ham: No firepower. Alex Winstanley: Crystal Palace, Stoke City and Fulham. None have big enough squads to cope with the Christmas period. Paul Moore: Palace - Are almost as bad as Swindon were, Norwich - Have the wrong manager & Hull - Cant seem to score goals 1215: KICK-OFF- Bournemouth 0-0 Brighton Under way at a very sunny Dean Court. 1212: BBC Radio 5 live sports extra LISTEN LIVE- Bournemouth v Brighton (1215 GMT) The players are out on the pitch at Dean Court, kick- off is moments away. Dont forget that you can listen to live radio commentary while browsing this fine live text commentary on the BBC Sport App. Its the only way to do a Saturday afternoon. 1210: NEW BBC LIVE PAGE BBC Sport is changing the way it covers live events online, including Saturday football. As part of this change, we have launched an early beta version of our new live page . Over the coming weeks and months, we will be enhancing these new live pages with improved integration of data, video, audio and text commentary across mobile, tablet and desktop. Please have a look at the page - you can provide feedback by completing an online survey. 1208: DEBUT FOR TP- Norwich v Crystal Palace (1500 GMT) The most prestigious baseball cap in the Premier League is back on display this afternoon as Tony Pulis makes his return to the hotseat. Now he doesnt really like to talk about this, but TP has never been relegated in his managerial career. Not once. Never. And Palaces win at Hull last week has suddenly given them a lease of life. Win today, and the Eagles could be level on points with West Ham or Fulham... 1205: GET INVOLVED- 81111 Andy, Sunderland: Snow fell here in Sunderland last week. Ergo, its acceptable to say six-pointer. Weve been saying it since August, mind you. Matt: re 1151 - I believe the correct term is a groan of 0-0 draws. Mike in London: Surely a sorrow of 0-0s 1202: NORTH OF THE BORDER Today is fourth-round day in the Scottish Cup, with Falkirk taking on Rangers in the first match. You can follow the action in our separate Scottish Cup live text. 1159: GUNNERS OPEN THE GAP?- Cardiff v Arsenal (1500 GMT) For all the talk of life at the bottom, Arsenal can go seven points clear at the top with a victory in the Aaron Ramsey derby in Cardiff. That will be easier said than done of course, as Cardiffs home performances have been superb this season on the whole. Just ask Manchester City. And Manchester United. 1156: GET INVOLVED- We are staying up... Dogfights, disasters, dream escapes - everyone loves a relegation tussle - as long as you come out of it on the right side of the dotted line of course. So my question to you all today is simple. Name the three sides who are going to be relegated from the Premier League this season, backing it up with any supporting evidence you wish to supply. Im also keen to hear any first-hand relegation tales you may have. Whats the hardest youve taken the drop? How happy were you to survive on the last day? You can text us at 81111 (UK only) or tweet us at #bbcfootball . Fire away... 1155: Football Focus STARTING SOON... Dan Walker is joined in the Football Focus studio by former Wales internationals Robbie Savage and John Hartson. A Welsh- flavoured programme sees the pair join in the tributes to birthday boy Ryan Giggs, with a special feature on the evergreen 40-year-old included. Away from Giggs, you will also watch interviews with Romelu Lukaku, Yohan Cabaye and Steve McClaren. Watch the show on BBC One and the BBC Sport website at 1200 GMT. 1154: AS IT STANDS A glance at the bottom of the Premier League table illustrates just how big a game it is between West Ham and Fulham this afternoon; and between Norwich and Palace. Six- pointers everywhere you look... 1153: Bournemouth v Brighton (1215 GMT) Our early action comes from the Championship today. Eddie Howe, who turned 36 on Friday, returned to Bournemouth for a second spell as manager last season, masterminded their latest promotion and has since steered them to the relative safety of mid- table, though they are closer to the bottom three than the top six at present. Howe said this week that Brighton are a club the Cherries must seek to emulate in the Championship, having won plaudits under Gus Poyet and now Oscar Garcia for their footballing style. A two-goal win for the Seagulls will take them into the top six - temporarily at least. 1151: What is the collective noun for goalless draws? A disenchantment of 0-0s? A delusion of 0-0s? A foil of 0-0s? 1148: BOTTOM FIVE FACE-OFF There are six Premier League matches for us to enjoy - or endure - this afternoon, but its at the bottom where the big action is likely to be. Sunderland - without as much as a goal on the road since August - travel to Villa Park, while Upton Park and Carrow Road see our two big showdowns. Who will come out on top? Are we set for two edgy, tense, midfield dogfights? A brace of 0-0s? Norwich City v Crystal Palace (1500 GMT) West Ham United v Fulham (1500 GMT) 1145: SIX-POINTER SEASON? Is it too early to declare six-pointer season open? The first snow is yet to fall, Abou Diaby is yet to make his first comeback from injury of the year and weve only lost 13 managers across the Football League. Nevertheless, today sees four of the Premier Leagues bottom five sides face each other and wins for Crystal Palace and Fulham would leave the relegation zone looking very different tomorrow morning. Defeats for the Eagles and the Cottagers meanwhile, and the impending festive season will begin to look increasingly daunting. It could be six-pointer woe, or six-pinter joy for the sides at the bottom. Its over to you lads... Share this story
