West Brom 3-2 Crystal Palace - 6 Things We Learned

2. Sunderland A Must Win

Palace haven't had a single 'must-win' game all season. While flirting briefly with Europe, they have been far enough away from both ends of the table not to have to put extra importance on any one game. However, the Sunderland game on Tuesday represents a serious watershed moment in Palace's season. Will they show that they are together and can pull out a result that would all but secure their safety? Or will they allow their season to spiral into all-out crisis? If we end the game only five points ahead of the current 19th placed team in the league, we will officially be in a relegation battle that seemed ridiculous to consider only two and a bit months ago.
