Just starting this as Bangell said he is swigging cocktails tonight.

Form:

Bristol City - WDWWDL - the first W in the sequence being the 2-0 win at home over Stoke in this cup. At Home they have a 3W - 3D - 1L record.

Palace - LWLLWL - we've yet to win away from home.

Team to play Bristol City: Hennessey, Fosu-Mensah, Kelly, Tomkins, Van Aanholt, Puncheon, Riedewald, Lee, Loftus-Cheek, Kaikai, Sako

Subs: Henry, Souare, Phillips, Delaney, Mutch, Lumeka, Ladapo Surprised souare is on the bench considering he played played for u23 yesterday squad must be wafer thin at the moment

Wow.....Kaikai over Ladapo

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Got to be honest I'm not to familiar with Bristol City's team.... Is this a full strength starting 11 for them?

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Small man + big man with Sako rather than two big men? Both KaiKai and Sako are comfortable wide and cutting in, so could also be a bit like a poor man's version of what Roy's been doing with Wilf and Townsend.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Sounds like a reasonable assessment. They don't seem willing to play Ladapo yet do they.
