Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew is expecting a tough test against Southampton when the two teams meet in the Premier League tonight.
As reported on the official club website, Palace have scored in their last five games, with Ayew managing to get his name on the scoresheet twice.
Roy Hodgson’s side were really struggling to score goals earlier in the season but the forwards seem to have their confidence back after some positive performances and results.
The Eagles travel to a rejuvenated Southampton side managed by Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has his team playing with passion and aggression.
Ayew said:
Southampton all of a sudden are doing really, really well. But to be honest, it doesn’t matter to me. The most important thing is to focus on ourselves and go there for what we know is a very difficult game.
We know their quality, they’ve got good players and have the momentum at the moment. We all know that every game is important, there are 38 games in the Premier League and 38 games are all important.
The Premier League is so unpredictable and so difficult so every week is a different task. We are fully focussed on Southampton.
Both sides are currently level with 22 points in the Premier League, three points away from the relegation zone.
