Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis believes it is home performances which will determine their Barclays Premier League fate and not games such as Saturday's trip to title challengers Chelsea. "I've come in, the players have responded and it's been a great few results and we're really, really pleased," Pulis said.
"But the season is not about three or four games - it's about the 23 that are left for us.
"Our season will be determined by our home form, from now until the end of the season.
"We've just got to make sure Selhurst Park is rocking like it has been the couple of times I've been manager there and that the players give everything they've got."
Pulis believes Palace can put the leading clubs under pressure at home, but it is more of a challenge away.
"On any given day, if Chelsea play to their maximum, they're a little bit ahead of us," added Pulis.
"The one thing everybody's really surprised about is that they haven't scored as many goals as maybe they should have.
"But they've played some fantastic football and they've got some top, top players.
"I think they're in a fantastic position and they're still fighting on four fronts.
"At Selhurst Park you can make it difficult and you can make it more of a competitive match. When you go away, it can be, in my experience, very, very difficult.
"The pressure is off us; I don't think anybody expects us to go to Chelsea and win the game.
"The important thing is the players go there and do their best, they enjoy the game and they enjoy the challenge."
