Crystal Palace striker James Scowcroft feels the pressure is on the teams occupying the play-off places as the Championship run-in looms.Palace moved themselves into seventh with Saturday's 2-0 win over Barnsley and Scowcroft insists the more fancied teams above them will be feeling the heat, while there are few expectations weighing down the Eagles.

"At any club you always look at the table and at the moment we are there or thereabouts. There's a lot of pressure - but the teams above us are under pressure as well," he said.

Scowcroft bagged his 100th career goal against the Tykes, and set his sights on adding to his tally at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

"It's not something I've thought about a lot but it's a nice milestone - hopefully I'll get number 101 next week," he added.
