# Murray: Palace are in a false position in the league

Brighton and Hove Albion striker Glenn Murray believes that Crystal Palace should be higher than 13th in the Premier League table, as reported on the [Brighton Independent](https://www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk/sport/football/albion/brighton-striker-murray-believes-crystal-palace-are-in-a-false-position-1-8836230).

The former Palace forward feels that Roy Hodgson’s side are a lot better than their league position suggests.

Brighton are currently 15th, three points behind the Eagles ahead of their clash at Selhurst Park this Saturday.

Murray said:

> It’s another big one against a team down there alongside us almost. We could go neck and neck with them if we win, so it should be a good game.

> I personally think they’re probably in a false position because they’ve got a very talented squad.

> They maybe took a little bit of time to get going but they’re in their stride more now.

Palace are going into the game after a crucial victory over fellow strugglers Burnley, whilst the Seagulls are also going into the game after a win over Huddersfield.
