Midfielder Joe Ledley claims the Crystal Palace players must make the most of their first-team opportunity if given a chance to feature in the EFL Cup tie at Southampton.
Eagles boss Alan Pardew has confirmed he will utilise the squad for the trip to St Mary's Stadium, where he previously had a short spell as manager, winning the 2010 Football League Trophy final at Wembley.
Wales international Ledley was in the starting XI for Sunday's 4-1 Premier League victory over Stoke, and stressed whichever team runs out against the Saints must give their all for the shirt.
