Roy Hodgson admits his Crystal Palace side HAVE to rediscover their winning touch without 'influential' Wilfried Zaha... with Eagles having lost 18 of their last 20 Premier League matches in the star winger's absence ahead of Brighton clash on Monday

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits his side need to start winning games in the absence of star winger Wilfried Zaha.

The Eagles have looked short of confidence in shipping five goals combined against Leeds and Burnley in their last two matches, struggling to cope without Zaha who is out-of-action with a hamstring injury picked up in the win at Newcastle on February 2.

Palace have now lost 18 of their last 20 Premier League games without the 28-year-old featuring, failing to score in all but two of those 18 - and Hodgson has urged his team to rediscover their winning touch at rivals Brighton on Monday.
