Ahead of his side’s trip to West Ham United Sam Allardyce says that nothing short of a win against his former club will do.
Allardyce is looking forward to taking on his former team in his first visit to London Stadium on Saturday, but with the Eagles only a point above the relegation zone and still seeking their first win since his arrival in December, three points is his priority.
“We'd all feel a little more comfortable with a win from that game,” he told cpfc.co.uk. “We've now gone four without victory, we need one sooner rather than later.
“Everybody has to play better than they are at the moment. Everybody.”
Allardyce is keen to secure that first win as Palace boss.
