5 struggling European teams that will not get relegated this season

Sam Allardyce makes a return to management after his disastrous England spell

Crystal Palace have Sam Allardyce as their manager now who has never been relegated with any club in his career. But Palace should not be relegated, whoever the manager is, with the qulity of players in their ranks.

The London club had a wretched 2016 under Alan Pardew, winning only six games in the entire calendar year. Since the start of this season, their problem has been with the defence.

Unlike many other teams near the bottom of the table, finding goals has not been a problem for Palace, but when they do score goals, they unfortunately tend to concede at least as many as they have scored.

And that is where Allardyce will come into play. His forte is to ensure that his teams are organised, making it hard for opposition strikers and eventually not concede goals.

Palace need their defensive organisation to be spot on and with the likes of Wilfried Zaha, Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend in their ranks, they will score goals.
