Alan Pardew has implored his Crystal Palace side to kick on following Monday night's win over Manchester City.

The Eagles defeated City 2-1 at Selhurst Park to move up to 11th place on the table which has a top-half finish firmly in their sights.

Palace have the fourth best form of any Premier League team at the moment with four wins from their past five outings and Pardew wants them to extend that in Saturday's trip to Sunderland.

"You've got to set goals and adjust them to how you perform and we're performing really well," he told BBC Radio 5 live.

"We're in the top four for form in the country and we'll take that into the next game.

"We've had three wins in a row now, QPR here, Stoke away, which is never easy and Man City - they're big games to win."
