Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has admitted that he is "feeling the pressure" of the relegation battle as his side sit just four points ahead of Leeds United in the Premier League table, despite being seven places higher than the Whites.
With 12 games left to play this season, just five points separate the bottom nine teams. Southampton, Leeds, Bournemouth, West Ham, Leicester, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Crystal Palace are the sides battling it out to avoid the drop this term.
Javi Gracia's side dropped down to 19th following their 2-2 draw with Brighton, as both Everton and Bournemouth moved up the table with wins over Brentford and Liverpool on the weekend. And Palace, who have won just once in their last 13 top-flight matches, have found themselves dragged into the ongoing relegation battle after their poor run of form.
