Roy Hodgson discussed Crystal Palace's clash with top of the table Tottenham Hotspur against the backdrop of a smattering of Palace fans on the Selhurst terraces.

Applauded as he greeted supporters while taking to the pitch for his pre-match media duty with Sky Sports, Hodgson said he was "delighted" to see faces filling the Holmesdale again.

Asked if the fans will make a difference to the team, the manager said: "It's a question of what we can give them, really. It's the first time we've had them back and we're delighted to see them and really rather hoping we're going to give them something to make their day worthwhile and make them really glad they're back watching live football again.
