SOUNDBITE: (English) Tony Pulis, Crystal Palace manager (Q: With the games against Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea and then you've got Aston Villa and Southampton, are they the two games you need to target to get three points from?)

"No, like I say, we know how tough this run is for us. You know we've got as tough as anybody in the bottom ten, but we'll get our heads down and work as hard as we can. You know there's what is it - ten, eleven teams - that are fighting for their lives and we're ahead of the game in lots of respects because we're still in with a chance and nobody gave us that chance a long time ago, or not a long time ago, quite a short time ago."
