Roy Hodgson says he hopes Jean-Philippe Mateta can make the most of his opportunity tonight and show the Premier League what he can do.
“Mateta, as far as being a Crystal Palace player is concerned, is an unknown quantity,” he said in his pre-match interview. “This is a great opportunity to show us what he can do.
“Obviously we know what Jordan [Ayew] can do, he’s played most of his games for us up front. I’m just hoping they will combine well most of all.
“When we do get the ball, we’ll be looking to play the ball into them and see if we can test the Leeds defence.
