Clyne enjoying new Palace role

Nathaniel Clyne says he's happy at centre-half for Crystal Palace.

Clyne has moved inside from fullback in recent games.

“I'm enjoying it," the defender said. “It's a new position for me, and I'm just learning the role and my position. It's not too much off from playing up at full-back, really.

“I find myself in the same sort of similar positions. It's natural, I'm enjoying it and hopefully I can continue in that position.

“As you can see, we [as a team] are pressing high up the pitch. We've got attacking wing-backs coming into the attacking phase.

“They allow the right centre-back, where I'm playing and then the left centre-back to push forward as well, so it's always a lot of players in the opposition half. We're causing trouble and we're scoring a lot of goals at the moment as well."
