​Zaha trying hard to lead Crystal Palace relegation fight

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha believes the club can do enough to stay in the Premier League.

Palace are currently just two points above the dreaded drop zone.

Zaha hopes the team can take heart from their most recent win over Huddersfield Town as they battle to stay up.

"No-one wants to be in the bottom three, so winning this game is big mentally for everyone," he said to the Croydon Advertiser.

"This is a massive win, obviously mentally for the squad going into the next game against Liverpool.

Zaha also spoke about his battle to regain fitness before the end of the season.

"I have worked hard to get back and it is nice to be back out on the pitch, and back with the team and I am trying to help us to get the points to climb up the league," he said.

"This is a big win [at Huddersfield]. I have always known that the team is good enough and it is just about producing the performances.

"We have got the players – if you look at the team on paper, we have got good enough players and it is all about performing."
