They say lightning doesn't strike twice but Don Frick of Pennsylvania proves it can. Simon Jordan will be hoping Palace can repeat the Iain Dowie-inspired trick of racing up from the foot of the Championship to the Premier League via the play-offs. Whether Neil Warnock's side have lost momentum after losing at Hull in their penultimate league game remains to be seen but they have the best defensive record in the division and are just as good home or away. Palace will enjoy the underdog role since all their rivals have flirted with automatic promotion and nerves may be a factor when having to 'go again'. Warnock will encourage his players to have no fear, enabling the verve of youth to carry them through. Laurie Dahl
