Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is desperate to end their form slide.

Palace face Swansea tomorrow bidding to avoid a sixth straight league defeat.

Pardew said: “You look at the league table and you know those bottom clubs are going to start finding some form and start pushing to save themselves.

“We're one of the clubs in a vulnerable position. We have to have one eye on that situation.

“I don't want to put our head in the sand and dress it up by saying we've got more points than we had in the last two years at this stage.

“We have to face reality. There's pressure on us and we need to deal with it.

“We have 31 points, we need to find more than 42 because one of my old teams (West Ham) went down with 42 in the Premier League. It might be one of those years, you never know."
