We said: Crystal Palace 1-0 Norwich City
Despite the absence of Zaha and several others on Tuesday, Palace will be expected to register three points against struggling Norwich.
We are only predicting a narrow victory however, with the hosts looking a far poorer side without their key man in it in recent years, but as things stand it looks difficult to predict when the next points are going to arrive for a Norwich side severely lacking in quality and experience.
