Crystal Palace boss Roy Hogdson has warned his side that performance levels can't drop at Leeds United despite their win over Leicester City last time out. The Eagles are just a point above the Whites ahead of this weekend's trip to Elland Road and are one of nine teams at risk of relegation this season.
Having parted company with Patrick Vieira, Palace are hoping the return of Hodgson will help steer them to safety, as he did during his latest tenure with the club. An injury time goal from Jean-Phillippe Mateta ensured Hodgson of a winning return to the dugout, but the Palace boss has called on his players to put in a similar performance against the Whites.
Speaking to the BBC, Hodgson said: "It's easy for me to say to the players ‘go and perform that way again,’ but of course it's not that easy

"I haven't noticed a great deal of difference in training before and after the game, there's a sense of relief of course, but the two weeks we had with the players during the international break here hasn't changed in intensity - it was high energy and good quality and it's been that since.
"The fact you then play the game and have that type of performance is the icing on the cake. The only thing is as a manger and coach the concern is that one swallow not making summer - that was one game and three points but there are lots more points we need to get and performances we need to get before the end of the season."
