Crystal Palace boss Hodgson: Olise having Zaha impact

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits Michael Olise is having a similar impact to Eagles hero Wilfried Zaha.

Olise is back from injury and set to start tonight at Chelsea.

Hodgson said: “Obviously every club needs that [magic].

"We've been blessed with Wilf [Zaha] through the years, but now we have Olise, and also we have Eberechi Eze. We have two players who can do that job and who get the crowd buzzing.

“I think that the crowd were very good tonight [against Brighton]. They were very much behind the team. I think they'll recognise that there's some good moments ahead for this Football Club."
