Who will score the all important goals in this season’s Championship play-off matches that will take one of the teams to the Promised Land of the Premier League and all the glory and riches that go with it? 'If goal-scorers are the crucial ingredient for success in these games that are so much of a lottery, then a final between Palace and Hull could be on the cards' The games tend to be quite tight and the ability of someone to take a rare chance when it comes along could be absolutely vital. The first game sees Crystal Palace take on Bristol City. For Palace, Clinton Morrison is the only player into double figures this season, scoring 16 goals so far in 33 starts. Backing him up will be young Victor Moses who has bagged three in nine and loanee Scott Sinclair who has scored twice in his six games. Sixteen players in total have scored in league games for Palace. At Bristol City, nobody has managed to break double figures with Darren Byfield leading the way with just eight goals. Having said that, City also have 16 players who have found the net in the league this season. Unsurprisingly, Palace have scored more goals in total than Bristol City, 58 to their opponents' 54.
