The Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs West Ham

We head to Selhurst Park for Saturday’s final fixture as Palace and West Ham’s dodgy defences go head-to-head.

Christian Benteke warmed up for this one with a midweek hat-trick against Gibraltar and will fancy his chances against a rearguard that conceded more goals than any other over the first seven.

Subject of a recent members article, the in-form Dimitri Payet has racked up a goal and four assists in four starts for the visitors and chipped in with a goal and assist for France over the break.

Michail Antonio has netted in each of his last two away outings – at Man City and West Brom – suggesting he could punish his recent batch of sellers against a Palace backline that’s yet to keep a clean sheet.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I know Sterling is still a good prospect but Saints and WBA in the next couple of weeks could be tough and Walcott's looking hard to ignore.

    I think we all know who is to blame for this week's debacle: Jonty.

    The FPL gods were clearly angered when he spoke of being far ahead of Mark and have decided to smite him and all those who have similar teams to his.

    On behalf of the beleaguered Jontyites, I beseech our glorious leader to repent and atone for his sins. Perhaps sacrificing his beloved son Jason of Puncheon will placate the vengeful deities and prevent them from sinking our once bountiful land into the sea.
