Eriksen primed for Palace

Christian Eriksen has delivered one of two magical moments in recent memory at Selhurst Park – and he knows we have to do the business again in SE25 on Sunday.

We face Palace in a 12noon kick-off as we return to Premier League action after Champions League and FA Cup duty.

Christian told us earlier in the week how the team has gained confidence from results against United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Juventus and now it’s time to do it again at what is seen as one of the toughest away tests in the Premier League.

Palace may have stumbled of late – four without a win - but remember they were bottom of the Premier League, seven defeats in seven and zero points when Roy Hodgson took over in September. They’ve lost just five of the next 20 under the former England boss.

“Everyone knows how much this game means,” said Christian.

“You need to win games, especially these tough, testing away matches. We know how difficult it is at Palace but if we can get another good result, especially with how close it is in the top six, it will be another positive day for us.

“Last year (April) I scored and it was a massive goal for us at that time. Of course, the year before, Dele scored his goal (the flick up and volley) and that was special. Mine didn’t beat that one but it was important as well!

“Palace is a tough place to go, everyone knows that. We’ve had some wins there lately, also some difficult times. All I know is that the team feels very confident and we’ll give everything on Sunday.”
