Palace's tale of two keepers
Opta believe it is a tale of two keepers for Crystal Palace.
With 12 games of the Premiership season gone, Crystal Palace are finally easing themselves away from the relegation zone.
Fresh from a valuable draw at home to Arsenal, which followed victories over West Brom and Birmingham City, The Eagles are currently enjoying a fine run of form which has coincided with the appearance of Gabor Kiraly in goal.
The Hungarian keeper has started the last six Premiership games, the same amount of matches Julian Speroni has appeared in goal for Palace this term.
However, Kiraly's performances have been significantly better than Speroni's and the Hungarian now looks set to play a vital part in the remainder of Palace's season.
Speroni had a nightmare during the Carling Cup defeat to Manchester United in midweek and was arguably at fault with both Louis Saha and Kieron Richardson's strikes.
