Pulis doesn't want Palace to relax

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis says there's not time to bask in their win over Chelsea.

Palace are five points above the relegation zone with just seven games remaining but Pulis has warned his players that last weekend's surprise victory over Jose Mourinho's men does not mean they are safe from the drop.

"The lads can take a lot from the way they played against Chelsea but that goes out the window when we kick-off on Saturday," said Pulis. "If people think it is all over and done with after the Chelsea game, we have still got to get the points because everyone down there is fighting. We have to focus on getting the points as quickly as we can.

"It was a good three points against Chelsea but that is gone now. The most important thing is to focus on the next game, which is probably going to be more difficult.

"All that counts now is the Cardiff game. We need to make sure we put in enough performances like we did last weekend to get us over the line. We have been the underdogs all season and that will continue, irrespective of where we are in the table. Three points this weekend will not see us safe, we have to keep going until we are mathematically safe.

"Cardiff will want to drag us back into it. They have got some good players and it will be tough. We have played well away from home this season without getting results. But we have got four games away from home and we have got to pick up points in those games."
