7-point buffer not yet enough warns Palace boss Pulis

Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis suggests his side is not yet safe from relegation.

The Eagles are seven points clear of the bottom three after recording 34 points from 32 matches but that doesn't mean they can reduce their intensity in the remaining six fixtures.

"When can you relax? Not until we're safe, until we're mathematically safe," he told reporters. "I don't think that will be this weekend, or the weekend after that or maybe even after that.

"You just worry to death about getting over that line, you won't change that. There's more twists and turns in it. We're desperately keen to get as many points as we can."

14th-placed Palace, who have won their past two matches, host 13th-placed Aston Villa at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
