The opening month of the Premier League campaign was certainly a slog for Crystal Palace, but as the calendar flipped to September, so too have the Eagles fortunes.The south London outfit are aiming for their second consecutive league victory when they welcome Stoke City to Selhurst Park on Sunday.The Eagles (1-1-2) finally got things moving in the right direction with a 2-1 victory over new boys Middlesbrough last time. Christian Benteke opened the scoring for Palace, but it was quickly rebuffed through a goal by Daniel Ayala. The winning strike then came from Wilfried Zaha, who assisted on the opening score, in the 47th minute.Manager Alan Pardew was pleased with his sides performance.It was very similar to the other games that weve had in this division this year as it was so tight and the breaks went our way, he said. I was pleased with the first 20 minutes of each half and I felt that we controlled those periods. But then maybe because we hadnt won for a while we sat back towards the end of the first half.The manager also made mention of Bentekes first goal.I think its very important for a striker to get that first goal, Pardew said. And as soon as the cross came in you knew. ... I dont think any defender can defend against him in that position when hes coming on the back of you like that.Midfielder Joe Ledley echoed his managers thoughts on the victory.It was important to get three points after we have had a slow start but it is still early days, Ledley said.While Palace enter this contest riding a moderate level of confidence, Stoke City (0-1-3) are struggling mightily for form. The Potters find themselves at the foot of the table in the early goings.Stoke were off to a decent start with an opening draw against Middlesbrough, but their ensuing struggles continued with a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur last week. That result left Stoke manager Mark Hughes sufficiently frustrated with his teams performance.It is difficult when you concede the first goal at home because there is an onus on you to chase the game somewhat, Hughes said. We arent very good at the moment to be perfectly honest and we are allowing ourselves to get caught by being too open.You have got to give yourself a foothold in the game, keep a foothold in the game and then that will allow you the chances to get back on terms. When momentum starts to shift away from you then you have to recognize that and ride it out. Fake Astros Jerseys .
