Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has praised the 'outstanding' Luka Milivojevic for his consistency throughout a troubled season in which they have battled against relegation.
On Saturday they host rivals Brighton targeting a victory in pursuit of their bid to preserve their Premier League status, and Milivojevic's influence will again be key.
He scored a fine free-kick in last week's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth to reach double figures for the season and the midfielder's composure will be crucial in a high-pressure fixture.
Milivojevic has also shown leadership in other ways, repeatedly wearing the captain's armband for the Eagles.
