Crystal Palace press conference LIVE: Roy Hodgson on Zaha's injury, Mateta & Burnley preview 

"I think they are a team that are more than capable of scoring goals."

"It's hard to score goals against Burnley, that's why they do so well in the Premier League."

"I'm very please to hear a win tomorrow would give us that satisfaction (best return at this stage in the Premier League), but it's important for us to keep our feet on the ground."

"He's back now. He has been back for a couple of days. He is full of beans, full of life. We will benefit from his knowledge and enthusiasm on the touchline."

"We are reasonably confident ourselves. Hopefully it will turn out to be a good game."

On Zaha "No. It's only one week into his injury. We anticipate it will take more time for him to recover."

Furthermore, there will be additional coverage following the press conference at 22:30 this evening. 

Hodgson has a plethora of forward options to choose from at the moment and it is likely that he will be asked to assess Mateta's impact on Monday. 

It is expected that Joel Ward and James McArthur will be back for this weekend to strengthen Hodgson's options. 

However, with several key components of his squad unavailable, this period of games will be challenging for Crystal Palace. 

Hodgson will likely be asked on his recovery process
