Crystal Palace are 4-1 to drop down into League One after their excellent point at promotion chasing Leicester City in the Midlands on Tuesday.

With bottom two Preston (1-25 to go down) and Sheffield United (1-25) meeting at Deepdale the visit of third from bottom Scunthorpe gives Palace the ideal opportunity to put daylight between themselves and the bottom three at Selhurst Park this afternoon.

Palace have three of their last five games at home but the bottom line is they must beat a Scunthorpe side fighting for their Championship status as evidenced by their 4-1 victory over champions-elect QPR last weekend.

That said they were no match for the inform Reading at Glanford Park midweek and the Iron are 1-33 to be playing in League One later in the year.

That price will change dramatically of course if they get a result at Selhurst Park but the hosts really should land the odds and we at victorchandler.com bet 4-5 that Palace ease their relegation fears.

The draw is 13-5 and the unthinkable a win for Scunthorpe is 17-5.

James Vaughan and Steffen Iversen are 11-2 joint favourites to score first and if you think Palace will put the game to bed early they are 7-4 to lead half-time and full-time.
