Watford, under former Palace boss Roy Hodgson, will be making Palace work for this victory, so swerving the match result market in what looks set to be a cagey, low-scoring affair looks the way to go.
Diani had two chances to open the scoring in a matter of seconds after 16 minutes. She said: We probably feel the same as we did in the first game, but it's actually a bit worse.
It was tough to go to a new country to adapt to a new culture, a new footballing way. When you've lived in England, Preston, your whole life is very different.
One would hope that things settle now under Ralph Rangnick and in the past couple of games, we have been better - nothing exciting, but more organised, which I think was the issue before.
But he has transformed himself into an integral part of Moyes' squad. Moyes said of his player after the game: I thought Said played well tonight.
Chelsea's backline was transformed into a mean machine, recording 19 clean sheets in their final 30 games of the season.
Ole must therefore call upon those he fully trusts, and only he will know the answer to that. Calls to drop players who are out of form is fine, but what is the alternative?
He was fit and there was no need to rest him, and I'm really pleased for him that he could put a performance like this in. Porto coach Sergio Conceicao said: I think it was an unfortunate game for us for what we prepared the players for.

Pepi so far has been that No 9, scoring three times in his seven appearances, but he's still young, still growing, still learning, and the USMNT will need Pepi to keep doing those things if he's to be who they need him to be in Qatar.

They went in front when centre-back Pontus Jansson forced home Ivan Toney's cross from close range, before Yoane Wissa curled into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area moments later.
Ronaldo had 50 touches over the course of the 90 minutes, but many of them were in areas in which he was unable to hurt Atalanta as United showed a familiar lack of cohesion.

Speak to people who know Marcus Rashford, and they accept the Manchester United striker is suffering from a lack of confidence.
This was the 10th time he has scored Liverpool’s first goal in a game this season. His penalty-box prowess, with both feet and with his head, rivals anyone around right now.
