Alan Pardew: 'We're in terrific mood for West Bromwich Albion visit'

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has insisted that his team are full of confidence for Saturday's clash against West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park.

The main talking point ahead of the match is that Baggies boss Tony Pulis will be returning to Palace for the first time since leaving the club last year.

The Eagles head into this encounter on the back of four straight victories in the top flight, while Pulis's side have lost their last three.

"We're in a terrific mood, in terms of confidence," Pardew told reporters this morning. "We have great momentum. We're more expansive now, we have a great attacking set up. I think we're exciting to watch and we have new goals to break into the top 10."

Nine points separate 11th-placed Palace and 14th-placed West Brom.
