#4 They have an extraordinary fixture list
People need to take into consideration that in their first 6 league games, the Eagles have already faced three of last season’s top 8. And the run doesn’t get any easier as they’ll face Manchester United and Chelsea in the next two weeks. On a more positive note, they would have already faced 5 of last year’s top 8 before mid-October, meaning their Christmas period will be relatively comfortable.

Everyone knows that the team bottom at Christmas usually gets relegated. However, in that time Palace will be facing West Brom, Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester and Swansea in that period, all winnable games that could provide valuable momentum. If Palace can just ride out this tough period, the points will come rolling in.
On top of that, who’s to say the Eagles can’t get something against Manchester United and Chelsea, last season they beat Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool in the space of a week. Have faith.
