"Overall it was a good performance for us and we go home very pleased with the point."

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 12 he takes on The Farm singer and Liverpool fan Peter Hooton.
The Farm's new single, Forever & Ever, is out now and their new album, Let The Music (Take Control), is released in May 2025.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
Aston Villa have lost four in a row but Crystal Palace have even more cause for concern.
Logic tells me that Villa will come good, because Unai Emery is a superb organiser of teams and we have already seen long spells of them at their best.
Palace, however, need a drastic improvement on their performances this season because they have been pretty flat so far.
Villa need to click again, but they are at home which will help. Palace's form is getting pretty desperate under Oliver Glasner, and I don't see that changing this week.
Wooton's prediction: 3-1
Villa will be too strong.
Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa boss Unai Emery expressed his deep respect for Crystal Palace and their manager Oliver Glasner in his news conference on Friday.
The Villans host the Eagles in the Premier League on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Asked about Palace's form, with Glasner's team 18th in the table after 11 games, Emery said: "Crystal Palace have all my respect.
"We can analyse them playing against us three weeks ago, when they beat us here, and last season they were fantastic in the last four months of the season.
"They are playing in the same idea and style, but they've had some injuries and [Michael] Olise is no longer in the squad. They are playing the same as last year when they were successful. They deserve more points than they have now."
Villa come into Saturday's match on the back of a run of three consecutive defeats - something Emery is keen rectify this weekend.
“They won against us three weeks ago and my respect for them is a lot," he added.
"I am positive because we are working to correct small details.
"Respect is analysing them and trying to tactically respond to everything they are going to demand from us."

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Aston Villa (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner confirmed Eberechi Eze will not be involved, adding that they "can't take any risks" with the midfielder.
He said Eze "feels he's ready and wants to play" but they want to protect him. "We need him for 15 games [in December and January], not just for one," he explained.
Chris Richards, Jefferson Lerma and Cheick Doucoure are all back fit and available for selection, while Will Hughes returns to the squad after suspension. He added that Adam Wharton is "one or two weeks away" from a comeback.
More on the return of Doucoure: "He's a fantastic football player, we could see from the first day. I think he [was] injured at the beginning of November last year and he trained for six to eight weeks in 12 months. Getting back into his best shape is what we will support him [with], but it's good to have him back."
On what the the team did during the international break: "We decided, because of our schedule, that the whole first week was off. Also, for the staff, it's important. We decided several weeks ago to take one week off. I'm used to having it around Christmas, but here in England it's different, so I think it was important for everybody to recover."
He said he believes his side have a good chance "to take at least a point" on Saturday but "the mindset is to get the win".

Mark asked: Would you sack Oliver Glasner if Crystal Palace fail to get a point from either of their next two games?
Nedum replied: It depends on how those two games go. Results obviously matter but so do the manner of performances.
It could be that Palace pick up points from these next two games but the performances look fractured. That is then a different question to be asked.
At this point I don't think questioning the manager's position over these couple of games works because how long does that keep extending for? Does he have to then win the next one and next one?
There are no easy games in the Premier League because everyone is looking for something.
It is clear they trusted him last season when he arrived and did a good job, so I am sure there is a belief that he can still do that job this campaign.
I wouldn't say these next two games are defining as to whether he keeps his job, but the club know they have to start performing better and soon.

Crystal Palace's season has yet to get up and running.
The Eagles have just one win in the Premier League season and have been hit with injuries to a number of key players.
Adam Wharton underwent surgery at the beginning of this month and it is hoped he will be able to recover after around four weeks.
Jefferson Lerma has been out with a hamstring injury but is nearing a return and Cheick Doucoure has also had fitness issues.
All of those issues meant that Palace had to call on an unconventional midfield pairing of captain and centre-back Marc Guehi alongside 21-year-old Justin Devenny, who made his Premier League debut against Fulham.
Palace have difficult games against Aston Villa and Newcastle in their next two matches and manager Oliver Glasner will be hoping he can have some of his senior players back for those games - fixtures Palace would have found hard to get a result from even during better times.
Villa have had their own dip in form but are just one point off third place. Regardless, Palace can go into the match with optimism after beating them in the Carabao Cup, which set up a quarter-final tie with Arsenal.
Glasner is still backed by the Palace hierarchy but Palace need to start getting results to move themselves up the table and out of the relegation zone.

BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha gives us his insight and opinion every fortnight on your Premier League club.
But this week, he's in the hotseat for your questions.
So what do you want to ask for a former player. Best opponent? Most memorable team-mate he played with?
Or maybe you're just interested in what next for your club this season?
Image source, Getty ImagesInterim England boss Lee Carsley says "there is a lot more to come from" Marc Guehi in both international and club football.
The Crystal Palace centre-back, who was a standout player for England at Euro 2024, is now an established defender in the international squad.
"I made Marc captain when he was in the under-21s," said Carsley. "He is a player who shows leadership qualities in his career so far not only off the pitch but on the pitch.
"The players who made their debuts are Premier League players. The fact that Marc is so calm next to them is a help.
"He's had a really good camp and is playing really well for Palace. There’s a lot more to come from him. He’s fast and aggressive."

Image source, Getty ImagesThere has been some pressure on players carrying an injury going into international breaks with their national side because you are contracted to these clubs and that is where your income is.
But, for me, as a player I had a similar mindset to Harry Kane that I would always be available - injured or not injured. I would have injections when I was on international duty just so I could represent my country because it meant that much.
It is difficult, however. If you look at Jack Grealish and Pep Guardiola's comments, he has a point because the forward has not been able to play for Manchester City because of injuries. So if you have been sidelined for three or four games, I would agree that you are then not fit and available to go on international duty.
But when you look at some of the other players, ones who have been playing and being managed by their club, then I do not see it being different to being played and managed by your country.
From the club's side, when they are competing at such high levels in the Premier League, you can understand why they would want their players to be rested and get fully fit again over the two weeks, rather than having to come back straight into a hectic period of fixtures.
I kind of get it from both points of view but, as a player, if I am half fit and being played by my club, I would be fully available for my national team.
It is really difficult with the pressure that is on the players, though. I would not look at it as a decision players have made solely.

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Crystal Palace full-back Martin Kelly believes the current side "have a really good manager" and backed the Eagles' home form to help them survive in the Premier League this season.
Despite Palace being mired in the relegation zone, Kelly told BBC World Service's Sportsworld programme he does not believe their top-flight status is in danger.
"They've got a really good manager in Oliver [Glasner]," he said, "and the home form at Palace always gets them over the line. They always manage to get results against the big sides and it's the sides who are in and around the same position as Palace they'll be looking to try and get the results against.
"The injuries aren't great for Palace at the minute, but they've still got a really good squad."
Kelly spent eight years at Selhurst Park and experienced a wide range of managers during his time. He explained that certain philosophies were better suited than others to the group of players at the club.
"When a manager comes in, you know if you have the right players to play his tactics," Kelly said. "We went from Sam Allardyce, who really simplified the game of football to Frank [de Boer], who was total football at Ajax and tried implementing that in Inter but that never worked out and then came to us.
"It was the first big risk that the chairman at Palace and the board took with us as players and it was probably four or five seasons too early. If Frank was back now, it may have been different.
“The most modern manager we had was Patrick [Vieira] who was trying to imprint his philosophy and style of play of was playing out from the back and it was at probably the right time.
"The difficulty with Frank was we didn't have the players to play out from the back and in the Premier League you don't get time. We had the pre-season - that was it."
"The rest of the managers were all sort of similar, quite structured and Roy [Hodgson] was ultra defensive. Roy was very big on not conceding and never scored that much, which ultimately probably cost him his job in the end. Palace stayed up for so many years but wanted to see more football. Fair play to the fans for wanting that."

The defender made 208 appearances for the south London club across eight seasons, scoring four goals.
He also had spells at Shrewsbury Town, Wrexham and Liverpool before finishing his playing career in the United States - where he became a manager.
A statement on Palace's official website, external said: "The club are deeply saddened by Peter’s passing, and the thoughts of everyone are with his family at this time."
Alex Pewter

Image source, PA MediaIn keeping with last week, the Fulham result on Saturday came with several asterisks.
Once again, these do not help Crystal Palace's cause - a costly error from Maxence Lacroix and a red card for Daichi Kamada offering a helping hand to the visitors.
Thee strong VAR detractors within the Palace fanbase may also now be reconsidering their view, given that it saved the club from facing double the deficit at full-time and yet more blushes.
Currently, it seems unlikely that my pre-season prediction of 10th will quite happen - fortunately, BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty is going down on that ship with me. The Opta supercomputer, external suggests a 1.2% chance of reaching that spot. We'll take it.
Yet it is interesting how sentiments and performances have failed to meet expectations in the three months since. Of course, injuries are a variable, but the final two weeks of the transfer window have played a significant role.
After 11 matches, it is difficult to see most of the summer acquisitions as net positives based on performances and costs.
The apparent exceptions are Lacroix and loanee Trevoh Chalobah, despite their respective individual errors in the past two matches.
That may be why fan discontent is directed squarely at the club's ownership rather than Oliver Glasner in the dugout, which seems a rarity for a team in the bottom three spots.
One bright spot from the game was Justin Devenny's debut. Promoted and starting for the senior team in central midfield, he performed with the maturity and composure we have come to expect based on his performances for the under-21s. Given Kamada's suspension, he has likely earned an extended stay in the first team - and on merit.
Once again, the international break offers Palace the chance to regroup and get numerous players back from injury. Player availability is now paramount in both the short and long term.
