Starting with the day's headline news, the manager discussed how important Wilfried Zaha's return is.

"He's a very important player for us," Hodgson said. "There's no question of that. Obviously he's a very good quality player. We're happy to have him back; it was disappointing to lose him for the last two games but we're hoping that absence will have made his heart grow fonder and he'll give a very good performance today.
