Roy Hodgson has 'faith' in Crystal Palace survival despite struggles

Roy Hodgson says he has an "awful lot" to do at Crystal Palace but is confident things will turn around.

Palace's start to the Premier League campaign could scarcely have been worse, having failed to muster a single goal on their way to five straight defeats.

No top-flight side has ever managed that before in English football and Palace are the first team to fail to score in any of their first five Premier League games.

Frank de Boer was in charge for the first four of those losses, with Hodgson overseeing Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Southampton as life in the Selhurst Park hotseat got off to a difficult start.
