​Allardyce targets 38 points for Palace survival

Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce has targeted 38 points to secure survival.

" I don't know who will be here based on the position we are in," Allardyce said.

"Securing our position in the Premier League will mean the majority of players will still be here. I dread to think what will happen if we don't secure our status.

"Thirty-eight [points] for me. It used to be the magic 40 but the last few years 38 has been enough. But you've got to try and win more than that, you can't just strive for 38. The quicker you accumulate the points the quicker you relieve the pressure."
