The Eagles played out a remarkable 15 matches in all competitions in the 49 days between Saturday, 22nd November's trip to Wolves and last Saturday's FA Cup third-round match in the North-West – averaging a fixture every three days.
Oliver Glasner's side have had more time between games this week, however, and got fully stuck into training at a sunny – albeit crisp with the winter air – Copers' Cope in South London.
Saturday's game will mark our first trip to the Stadium of Light since September 2016, when Palace came back from two goals down in the second-half to triumph 3-2, thanks to strikes from Joe Ledley, James McArthur and Christian Benteke.
