Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew knows that his side have to address their home form if they are to arrest their alarming side down the Premier League table. The 2-1 win at Stoke on December 19 took them up to sixth but they are winless in 12 league matches since, leaving them in 15th place, eight points clear of Norwich City in 18th.But despite their recent travails, Pardew believes his side can give surprise league leaders Leicester a fright this weekend. Leicesters Jamie Vardy scores the only goal in the reverse fixture in October The results at home havent been what Ive wanted since I got here, says Pardew. Our philosophy is to go toe-to-toe.I want us to be more consistent and be an established Premier League team. For half of last term and half of this one we were, but we must improve.Ive got some great players here, I love managing them and I love it here. Im looking forward to these next nine games.Our history is littered with upsets against the odds, thats what this club is about. The stars have aligned and the planets have aligned for Leicester this season. Theyve had hardly any injuries, made hardly any mistakes in their campaign.Now the run is clear for them, they are the clear favourites, even Sir Alex Ferguson said theyre going to win it. For us, its envy a little bit for what theyve done and also admiration. Yohan Cabaye scores the first goal in the 2-0 FA Cup win at Reading Pardew is taking heart from the 2-0 win at Reading in the sixth round of the FA Cup and is urging his team to translate their Cup form to the league. They have won just four league matches at Selhurst Park this season. He said: Were in decent form but not as much in the league and we have a chance to turn that around in this next spell and theres a real determination this week on my part, the coaches part and among the players to do that.I noticed in the end period of the Reading game that we saw the game out comfortably. Weve not done that in the league and thats telling me there is a slight psychological issue with the team.Its understandable when everyone is reminding us of our position in the league and we have to get over that. We have to see a game out.

Forward Chandler Parsons will not be cleared to play in the Memphis Grizzlies season opener as the team continues to exercise caution in his return from the second surgery on his right knee, coach David Fizdale told reporters Monday.The knee was the primary reason that the Dallas Mavericks did not attempt to re-sign Parsons, who signed a four-year, $94 million maximum contract with the Grizzlies in free agency. Parsons had season-ending surgeries on the knee each of the past two years.Parsons began full participation in Grizzlies practices last week and hoped to be cleared to play in the opener. He told ESPN over the weekend that he was experiencing no problems at all with the knee. However, Parsons understood that the Grizzlies would err on the side of caution after making such a major financial investment in him, plus he needs to work his way into basketball shape.Fizdale also told reporters that center Marc Gasol wouldd have a minutes restriction early in the season.dddddddddddd Gasol had season-ending surgery in February to replace a non-displaced Type II fracture of the navicular bone of his right foot. He had a bone bruise in the foot during the preseason that the team said was not related to the previous injury.Parsons had surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee in May. He had hybrid microfracture surgery on the knee the previous spring and was on a strict minutes restriction for the first two months of the season.Parsons, who turns 28 on Tuesday, recovered to play the best basketball of his career last season. He averaged 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 47.7 percent from 3-point range over a two-month stretch before re-injuring the knee. ' ' '
