As reported by Goal, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has been full of praise for star man Wilfried Zaha ahead of the clash against Manchester United.
The Ivory Coast international played a crucial role in Palace’s survival last season and the attacker has been similarly relied on to provide the goods for his team this term.
However, Zaha has been less successful this time around, with just three goals in 10 matches in the Premier League so far.
Nevertheless, Eagles boss Hodgson has singled out the forward for praise despite his recent drop in goalscoring form.
Palace face Manchester United this weekend, where Zaha failed to impress after a move from Palace.

When at Old Trafford, the 26-year-old found it hard to hold down a first-team place, with the likes of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata all being ahead of him in the pecking order at the time.
Zaha then went out on loan to Cardiff City before a return to South London, where he has succeeded once again since.
Ahead of their clash against Manchester United, Hodgson said:
Wilf’s always got motivation and I don’t think that ever varies. I don’t think Wilf needs extra motivation, I don’t think he needs people pressurising him, putting pressure on him for a performance.
I think that his attitude to each and every game, be it a home game here at Selhurst Park against a team lower in the league or whether it’s a top match against the Manchester Uniteds, Cities and Liverpools is that he goes out each time to give a performance, to go and do what he knows he’s good at doing.
