Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis admits this month's transfer window will decide their Premier League future.

The south Londoners are in need of some bargains in the January sales if they are to avoid ending another season in the top flight with disappointment.

"The end of the season is when it counts - not at Christmas and new year," said Pulis.

"The next two or three weeks are very big for this club in terms of what we can bring in. The best thing now is that the window is opening and that will give us a chance to get a few players in and a few out."
