Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew wants to secure their Premier League status as quickly as they can.

Victory over Hull in Saturday's Selhurst Park clash would rubber-stamp Palace's top-flight safety, and Pardew admitted he is eager to make what experiments he can with next term in mind.

"There could be an opportunity to look for next year and that is what I am going to do between now and the end of the year," he said.

"I will try and keep our professionalism together, but also look at Chungy and Jordon Mutch and how they are going to impact on what is a good team at the moment.

"We still have some big games though, so I have to look at that and can't be experimenting in some.

"It is about making sure whatever team goes out there is every bit as good as the team that has played in the last few weeks."
