Crystal Palace are happy they will have a few easier games on paper in the coming weeks.

The London side are involved in a run of games that includes playing three of their last four matches against "top six" teams. The run ends against Liverpool in the next match-day.

Palace star Luka Milivojevic is happy they can avoid those teams for a few weeks, as they will have games against Burnley, Bournemouth and Watford.

"The last three or four games, it is like a mini Champions League," Milivojevic told Palace TV.

"It is not easy when you don't get points three or four games in a row but that is the schedule, what can we do? We've tried to do our best to get something, that is the schedule we had this month and Liverpool are next.

"After that I hope it will be easier. If we'd beaten Leicester last week we would have been fifth, but we didn't so we are in the middle of the table at the moment.

"If we win a few games in a row we will be up again and I hope it will be like that."
