13:15 start
Furthermore, there will be additional coverage following the press conference at 22:30 tonight.
Joel Ward’s swansong
Ward, 30, is one of the 11 players who are out of contract come the summer, however, as he nears towards a decade of service, it would be a gung-ho decision to let Ward leave.
Hodgson was ‘optimistic’ on Zaha
Whilst the Eagles have found a way to stand tall without the crux of their side, Zaha is still an irreplaceable foundation of the team.
Roy Hodgson will provide an update on his progress.
A resilient performance
The Eagles have battled valiantly in their recent performances, grinding out an impressive 0-0 draw with a high-flying Fulham, before thwarting a free-flowing Manchester United side, neutralising the pace and threat with a robust display.
