(3pm, Selhurst Park).
Tickets: £17-£25 (£5-£9 concs). Tel. 020 8771 8841
Fact: Gillingham, who are unbeaten in their last six games, lost 3-1 on their last visit to Selhurst Park in April 1977
Recommended pub: Selhurst Arms (Selhurst Road)
It would have taken several mechanical diggers, but it's a fair bet that Neil Ruddock wished the ground had opened up and swallowed him following his clanger against Sunderland on Wednesday night. It shouldn't take Palace too long to recover, though, not when they have the incentive of moving further up the First Division table should they beat Gillingham tomorrow, followed next week by the Worthington Cup semi-final climax at Liverpool. Clinton Morrison, incidentally, could be eligible for the Republic of Ireland after completing the stringent qualification questionnaire: Which do you prefer? (a) Irish (b) English Cheddar - choose only one.
VERDICT: CLINTON'S IRISH EYES ARE SMILING
