(Reuters) - Crystal Palace risk suffering a mass exodus of players at the end of the season if they lose their Premier League status, manager Sam Allardyce said on Friday, ahead of Saturday's vital match against Watford at Selhurst Park. "Securing our position in the Premier League will mean the majority of players will still be here. I dread to think what will happen if we don't secure our status," Allardyce told reporters. Palace have been in the Premier League since they beat Watford in the play-off final in 2013. Watford, who are currently 13th in the Premier League, were eventually promoted in 2015.
