Emmanuel Adebayor will face a late fitness test ahead of Crystal Palaces pivotal relegation clash with Norwich at Selhurst Park. Despite both Palace and Norwich sitting above the relegation zone, neither can afford to slip up with Sunderland and Newcastle desperate to remain in the top flight.Palace have not tasted victory in the Premier League since December 19, and have been dragged into a relegation battle, when earlier in the campaign it seemed the only way was up for Alan Pardews men. The Canaries would be in a far worse predicament if they hadnt mustered a spirited last-gasp victory over Newcastle last time out.With Norwichs woeful record on the road, and the Eagles six-game losing streak at Selhurst Park, picking a winner here is a tall order, but the loser will be looking nervously over their shoulders come Saturday evening.Team newsCrystal Palace striker Emmanuel Adebayor will face a last-minute fitness test before their clash with fellow strugglers Norwich.The forward suffered a slight knock in training this week and could be unavailable on Saturday but manager Alan Pardew is confident he will be available for Wednesdays game with Everton.James McArthur (ankle) and Brede Hangeland (knock) are the only players still on the sidelines due to injury.Norwich will have captain Russell Martin back in the squad for the clash while winger Nathan Redmond could be in contention to start after recovering from a hamstring injury.Full-back Ivo Pinto had been struggling with a virus, but should return.Opta statsCrystal Palaces win over Norwich in the reverse fixture in August was their first victory over the Canaries in the Premier League (D4 L4).Norwich are winless in 14 away league games against Crystal Palace, last winning away to them in May 1996 (D5 L9).Crystal Palace remain the only team in the top four tiers who are yet to win a game in 2016 (D3 L9).The Eagles have now gone 14 league games without tasting victory; they last went 15 matches without a league win in March 1998.A league-high nine of Crystal Palaces Premier League goals this season have been scored by defenders.Five of Palaces nine league goals from defenders have come courtesy of Scott Dann, a league-high figure for a defender this season.On home soil, the Eagles have now lost six Premier League games in a row. No team has lost seven home games in a row in the top-flight since Wolves in April 2012 (nine consecutive games).The Canaries have scored a joint-league low one goal in the first 15 minutes of their games (level with Aston Villa), which equates to an outright low three per cent of their total goal haul.Mersons predictionsThis is a massive game. If Norwich win this and Sunderland and Newcastle lose, youd think that would be it really. Both of them are a fluke result away from being relegated. Norwich did well on Saturday, I watched the game and it was a good result. Crystal Palace picked up a decent result as well, so it will be an interesting one.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 15/2)BettingCrystal Palace are 11/10 with Sky Bet with Norwich 5/2 and the draw trading at 12/5 ahead of their Premier League clash on Saturday. Palace (16/1) have been sucked into the relegation picture after a winless run in their last 14 league matches, while Norwich are now 1/2 to stay up after claiming seven points out of the last nine.

HABS HEADED TO CONFERENCE FINAL The Montreal Canadiens scored early in Game Seven, built a lead and protected it well on their way to a 3-1 series-clinching win over the Boston Bruins. While this game or series isnt necessarily a referendum on the value of fourth lines, the Canadiens certainly benefitted from production lower down their forward depth chart.

Solomon Elimimian did not make the trip with the team after suffering what appeared to be a right leg injury in the teams regular season finale against the Calgary Stampeders.Could we see a British or Irish winner at the PGA Championship? We look at the challengers. Rory McIlroyRory McIlroys record in the PGA Championship is exemplary. Even in 2013, a miserable campaign by his own high standards, McIlroy finished eighth having challenged for the title on the final day at Oak Hill. Ways to watch How to watch the 98th PGA Championship Either side of 2013 he produced a runaway win at Kiawah Island and a hard-fought follow-up at Valhalla, while way back in 2009 he was third behind the battle between YE Yang and Tiger Woods. Often considered the fairest, most straightforward of the four majors, the PGA Championship allows McIlroy to use his key weapons and when hes able to do so, theres still a strong feeling that hes the best player in the sport.And so to Baltusrol, where heavy rain in the run-up to tee-off should make his driving a massive advantage. Fifth place at Troon was impressive enough against a draw bias, which suggests Rory is primed for his fifth major championship and he certainly looks the pick of the British and Irish challengers. McIlroy has posted inside the top-five in four of his past five starts Justin RoseNo Englishman has ever won the PGA Championship - at least not since it reverted to a stroke play tournament in 1958. Its a remarkable fact, but not one which should put you off 2013 US Open champion Justin Rose.The 35-year-old warmed up for Baltusrol with 22nd place in The Open, when finally able to declare himself fit following a back injury which had interrupted his preparations, and with two top-five finishes in the last four renewals of this event, Rose should be confident of a big week. Rose has yet to reach the winners circle this year The world No 11 has thrived on similar, old-fashioned courses in this part of the US and his tee-to-green supremacy will be a massive asset. Expect a sustained challenge.Danny WillettWhile Rose appears to be peaking just in time, Danny Willetts form has taken a dip since he won the Masters back in the spring.Hes still found it within himself to lead the Irish Open at the halfway stage and finish third in the BMW PGA Championship, but 37th at Oakmont and 53rd at Royal Troon are two major performances which fall below the standards hes set over the last 18 months. Sky Bets USPGA Odds Get SEVEN PLACES each-way on the outright market! Concerns around putting and learning to deal with the expectation which now follows him around remain and Willett, who has also become a father for the first time, remains one to swerve.Lee WestwoodLee Westwoods PGA Championship record isnt particularly strong, but he was 17th at Baltusrol in 2005 and that experience may count for plenty as others see the course for the first time.Plus, since finishing second in the Masters hes embarked on a remarkable run of consistency, just like the Westwood of old, which includes 32nd in the US Open and 22nd in The Open. Westwood came close at both the Masters and the US Open As such it seems logical to expect a strong week at a ball-strikers golf course even if winning may again prove beyond him.Shane LowryPerhaps we shouldnt be surprised that Shane Lowry has struggled since missing out on the US Open. Holding a clear lead with 18 holes remaining, Lowry was ultimately well beaten behind Dustin Johnson and is the type of character to be quite hard on himself as he strives to win at the highest level. Still, hell recover eventually and perhaps a return to the US and a tough, long course, one not dissimilar to Oakmont, will help. Lowry must bounce back from a missed cut at The Open but loves playing difficult tracks like this one and cant be ruled out.Andy SullivanWith six top-25 finishes in succession, Andy Sullivan is enjoying a fine summer which includes 23rd at the US Open and 12th at Troon.Now inside the Ryder Cup team as things stand, just a few more solid performances will seal his debut at Hazeltine in September and you can be sure Sullivan will be fully focused on whats been a long-term goal. Sullivan was a three-time winner on the European Tour last year As for how his skills match up to Baltusrol, Sullivans controlled fade off the tee helps him find plenty of fairways and thats a key asset with juicy, wet rough guarding the fairways.dddddddddddd He missed the cut last year but has come a long way since then.Paul CaseyIts been a tough summer for Paul Casey, who has missed the cut in three of his last four events, the exception being the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, which did not have a cut.Coupled with the fact that hes never managed a top-10 finish in the PGA Championship and was 59th at Baltusrol in 2005, its easy to overlook a player who is searching for the form which helped him to fifth at the Tour Championship last season.Russell KnoxThe lone Scottish challenge comes from Russell Knox, who has bagged top-30 finishes at both the US Open and The Open.A resident of Jacksonville, Florida, Knox should be at home in these stateside majors but his PGA Championship record shows two missed cuts from as many attempts.Still, its hard to ignore the fact that hes a different player now, with a win in the locker just one step down from the highest level, and if he finds fairways and putts well, theres no obvious reason he cant contend.Andrew JohnstonOne of the stories of the summer, Andrew Beef Johnston is surely the value in Sky Bets top GB and Ireland market at 40/1, even if Justin Rose is the man most likely to throw down a sustained bid for the title. Andrew Beef Johnston talked about the high of walking up to the 18th hole at The Open Johnston has relished being thrust into the limelight thanks to a combination of a breakthrough win and his likeable persona, and the supposed distractions of the media dont appear to be preventing him from playing good golf.A top-10 finish at The Open earned him a place in this field and hes sure to welcome the opportunity, with his fairways-and-greens game seemingly well-suited to Baltusrol.What we shouldnt forget as Beef gains more attention is the reason hes here in the first place: hes a seriously talented player. Sky Bets USPGA Odds Seven places each-way plus many more markets here! Best of the restTyrrell Hatton is in fine form but it should be noted that so far hes looked an outstanding links player, so top-five finishes at Castle Stuart and Troon may not be all that relevant here. Hatton posted his career-best major performance at Troon Similar comments could apply to links-loving Chris Wood but his fitness is more of a concern, while Matt Fitzpatricks form has nosedived since his victory in Sweden. Graeme McDowell hasnt fired on all cylinders for some time but cant be underestimated as a major winner and the same applies to Padraig Harrington, the 2008 PGA champion whose form of late has offered some promise. Luke Donald may not be far from a return to form but needs to show more if hes to be considered a major player again and the same goes for Ross Fisher, although his performance at Bethpage in 2009 and superb driving makes him more interesting than some. Jamie Donaldson looks a long way from the star of the 2014 Ryder Cup while Bradley Dredge, Darren Clarke and James Morrison are hard to fancy.Watch the PGA Championship throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
