Pardew: Mid-table not good enough for Palace

The Eagles head coach feels his team has the ability to challenge the best teams in the division following its impressive early form in the league so far this season.

Alan Pardew is calling on Crystal Palace to keep looking up, stating that a mid-table finish in the Premier League is not good enough for his team.

Palace picked up a surprise win away at reigning champion Chelsea last month, but a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday brought about the club's second consecutive top-flight loss.

However, the Eagles coach feels his team has proven it has the quality to mix it with the elite if the side makes some minor improvements.
