What have the managers said?
NEIL WARNOCK:
“We’ve got to win this game. If we don’t we can forget it, so we’ve got to concentrate on that really. Away from home they probably play the best football from home. We’ve got to hope we can cope with that and our forwards can create chances.”
“We’ll give it our best shot against Palace. I don’t think it’s a pressure game, it’s a case of whether we can nullify their threats."
Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson met the media on Thursday, where he was asked if this weekend's game is made harder knowing Cardiff must get a result if they are to cling onto their hopes of avoiding relegation.
ROY HODGSON:
Roy Hodgson said: "I guess it does in some ways. There is no doubt they have been good at home this season and had some good results, and they have been unlucky at times. They have done very well as a club to still be in the fight with two games left.
"For them it is a very difficult situation. We go there knowing we are safe, whereas they have still got something really important to play for. We have to expect a very motivated team, a team that will give its all to cling to the last chances of staying in the league, and hoping they can win while Brighton don’t. We have a desire to win the game as well.
"Whether the game becomes easier or more difficult because the pressure delivers a good performance from them I don’t know, only the game will tell. We are motivated to give a good performance, and apart from Christian I have a fully fit squad, other than the ones we have out already."
The veteran boss was also asked if he would feel for Warnock if Palace relegate Cardiff.
He replied: "I don’t believe that you do relegate them, it is something we are asked to subscribe to. I don't think the actual game that brings about the inevitable, the 37th game and that team or that manager, that relegates you."
