Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has called upon his depleted squad to bounce back from their recent poor run of results by getting one over on their rivals Albion on Monday night.

The Eagles have slipped to 14th in the Premier League following back-to-back defeats to Leeds and Burnley, losing 2-0 and 3-0 respectively.

Hodgson is hoping his side can repair some of the damage done by recent performances and give supporters something to cheer about when they clash with the Seagulls at the Amex.

He said: “I think whatever team we were playing after the last two results where we’ve been below par, we’d have been anxious to show that we’re better than that and that we have more in our locker to show than in the last two games.

“So the fact that it’s Brighton adds the extra spice because it’s a game which is very important to our fans and everyone at the club is very much aware of that.

“It’s a good opportunity to get out there and show that the last couple of performances are not what our fans can expect from us.”
