Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has warned his players it's no time to slack off.

Despite being eight points clear of the bottom three, Pardew does not want anyone at the club to become complacent.

He said: "We just hope they make a lot of noise, we'll need them, we cannot afford to relax, the second year in the top flight is always more difficult after you have survived a promotion year.

"We know it is going to be tight to stay up again, but there is an extra air of confidence in the club after our recent wins, but seven days is a long time in football and we still have work to do."
