Pulis accepts Palace will again be relegation favourites

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis accepts they'll again be relegation favourites next season.

Palace are moving into uncharted territory - a second season in the Premier League. But it is not new for Pulis, who had five successive campaigns with Stoke Cit before a parting of the ways.

"Apart from the three teams getting promoted - and Leicester might even be above us - we will still be one of the favourites to get relegated," he told the South London Press.

"That will spur on the supporters and everyone else at this football club.

"We're still proving people wrong. That's the great thing about this. We've got to prepare properly and be as organised as we were this year and improve the squad.

"The players have done everything that many people couldn't imagine they could do this season."
