FootyMAD's Crystal Palace match preview

History of the Crystal Palace v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Plymouth Arg. face a trip to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Pilgrims will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in September 2008, with Plymouth Arg. inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Eagles in a Championship match.
