TONY Pulis says he has wonderful memories of his time at Stoke City but he'll be gunning for three points for Palace on Saturday.
The Eagles boss, who celebrates his 56th birthday today, led the Potters to the top flight for the first time in 2008 and they have gone on to become an established club.
"It's the first game after ten years that I've faced them and I look forward to it," Pulis told the Advertiser.
"They have nice people there and I know most of their players and staff. But I am more concerned about winning the game for Palace as they'll more concerned about winning themselves.
"I had an absolute wonderful ten years at Stoke and have some great memories, but that was then.
"My thoughts are now keeping Palace up and giving them the best chance possible to stay in the Premier League."
Stoke played out an eight-goal thriller with Liverpool last Sunday and Pulis knows his side are in for a difficult test.
"It was a very open game and both sides looked like they could score goals," he said.
"I know the players there and they have some good quality there in their group.
"They're an established team with six years in the Premier League and it will be really, really tough game for us."
