James Tomkins spoke with Premier League Productions earlier in the week and looked ahead to this Saturday's game against his former club, West Ham United.
Towards the end of his interview, Tomkins was asked what he'd say to the Palace fans watching the Eagles compete over their packed Christmas schedule.
He iterated that while the players will always work their hardest, often it's the crowd that spurs them on further.
He said, "Fans can expect that we'll give 100% on the pitch, whenever we play. And they'll get behind us. We were in a lot of trouble last season and they were like an extra man for us.
