by Simon Day in Premier League Picks
FA Cup holders Crystal Palace take on newly promoted Sunderland at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, in a game between two sides that have started the new Premier League season in fine form. Despite being tipped for relegation by many experts, Sunderland have kicked off the campaign with two wins in their opening three games, including a dramatic 2-1 victory over Brentford last time out, thanks to a last gasp strike from Wilson Isidor.
Palace already have a piece of silverware in their cabinet this season, thanks to their penalty shootout victory over Liverpool in the Community Shield. They have also started their first ever European campaign in style by defeating Fredrikstad in the Europa Conference playoffs, and their opening three league fixtures have produced two draws and a highly impressive 3-0 win at Aston Villa. It's early days, but it looks like being another successful year for Oliver Galsner's men as they look to build on last season's history-making FA Cup victory.

Our Crystal Palace vs Sunderland Prediction
Crystal Palace have been rock solid over the last few months, so despite Sunderland's encouraging start to the season, we think this game has home win written all over it. The Black Cats have benefited from a relatively soft couple of home games so far, but the Eagles will represent a much tougher test for Régis Le Bris' team. We expect the visitors to put up a strong fight, but ultimately, the home team will do enough for the three points. Our prediction for Crystal Palace vs Sunderland is: Crystal Palace to win and under 2.5 goals.
