A few more snippets from Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew.

On Steven Gerrard's last home game for Liverpool: "Gerrard has consistently come up with 'moments' for Liverpool. I wish him well. I have great respect for him and I look forward to the game.

"It's important that we show respect to Liverpool and to their fans on a special evening for them. It's going to be a difficult game."

On his former club Newcastle battling relegation: "I don't think Newcastle will go down. It's a strange scenario where they've found themselves. I made some great friends in Newcastle and I really hope they get over the line this weekend."

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has brought us some contract news as he previews Saturday's game with Liverpool.

"We've secured two players this week," he said. "Damien Delaney has signed a new contract and so has Jason Puncheon.

"Damo's is a one year extension and Puncheon's is three or four years.

"Since I've come in, Jason Puncheon has been the best player. He's orchestrated our play. I've given him more responsibility. He's very influential and very important."

Your transfer wishlists so far:

Michael Jacinto Carlier: Chelsea out: Ramires, Mikel, Drogba. In: Pogba. Promote Kalas, Romeu, Loftus Cheek and Bamford to the first team.

Alex Laz: Tottenham. Everyone can go except Kane, Lloris, Eriksen, Rose and Bentaleb. Pfft, clutching at straws here.

Ricky Strike: Arsenal. Begovic in goal, Varane at CB, Wanyama as CDM cover and possibly Jackson Martinez up front...None of these will happen.

BBC Sport has learned new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves has rejected Pietersen's claims that he was deceived about a possible international return.

But as Pietersen was hitting an unbeaten 355 for Surrey, new ECB director of cricket Andrew Strauss said the 34-year-old would not be selected.

It is understood Graves had two conversations with Pietersen but offered no guarantees about an England return.

The fans had an option to add their own suggestions, one of which was: "Bernie Ecclestone to step down and get a CEO who will listen". That ended up fifth most popular with 5% of the votes.

"But the supporters can rest assured that it never came from me and I never said I wanted to leave. I have always been happy here at this club, my family are happy where we are so it is a shame when stuff gets said and it isn't me who said it."
