Hodgson Sings Zaha's Praises Ahead of United Game

Roy Hodgson looked ahead to Crystal Palace's game against Manchester United and found praise for one former United star: Wilfried Zaha.

The 26-year-old had previously been a doubt for the game but Hodgson confirmed that he is fit and ready to play, stating that his availability will be a boost for the Eagles.

The manager praised Zaha's attitude and ability and played down the significance of returning to a former club for him.

"Wilf’s always got motivation and I don’t think that ever varies. I don’t think Wilf needs extra motivation. I don’t think he needs people pressurising him, putting pressure on him for a performance.
