It's a great match at Selhurst Park tomorrow (Saturday) as Crystal Palace faces Fulham, threatened with relegation.
The two teams are separated by only six points near the bottom of the Premier League, with Palace currently occupying four points outside the relegation zone, while Fulham has six points ahead of the security.
But Charlie Nicholas thinks they'll narrow that gap to three tomorrow with a win at Selhurst Park, though whites have not yet recorded a win away in the league this season.
In a weekly article on the Sky Sports website forecast, he said: "This shows you [Claudio] Ranieri's personality within the team – he is willing to say that [Aleksandar] Mitrovic is a bit tough and ready, but he's a handful with ten goals in the league and they're giving him good service with the right people playing …
"I do not know why he's not playing Tom Cairney anymore I know it's not so good when they do not have the ball, but that's not the case [Eden] Danger or [Mesut] Ozil and these guys have been great reputation players
"And I'd rather the guys on the ball get things done, rather than the guys who care about their defensive tasks.
"But again, Palace is struggling to score goals and split teams at home, and far from home their proposal is totally different.
"But I think that Ranieri feels something and that he is about to find him in the mix of things and that Mitrovic will be very careful again."
As such, the former Arsenal striker predicts a 2-1 win for Fulham.
At the same time, BBC specialist Mark Lawrenson is planning a tight match at Selhurst Park.
In his weekly article on the predictions for the BBC website, he said: "The recent Palace performances have been decent and I would expect another positive show from them even without the suspension of Wilfried Zaha.
"I do not think anyone witnessed Fulham's return to Brighton – they fought for goals all season, so scoring four goals in the second half was just ridiculous.
"This result will have given them a lot of confidence, but if they want to continue to save themselves, they really need more players to participate in certain goals."
However, he predicts that they will get a point at the Palace, while Lawrenson predicts a 1-1 draw.
