Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is hopeful Wilfried Zaha will be fit to face Arsenal on Saturday.

The Ivorian missed Sunday's FA Cup loss to Derby County through injury.

"He's injured," said Hodgson, and then added: "I do [hope he'll be back against Arsenal]. The fact is he was pressed into service against Norwich, probably defiant of the advice of the sport science and medical people.

"If Wilf had been a different person to the person he is, he wouldn't have played against Norwich. But he did and he got through the game which was fantastic. I wasn't prepared to ask him to push himself through another game against medical advice for a cup match, which, if you're going to lose a game in our situation, Crystal Palace, is the game you prefer to lose to a league game because our aim is not to win the FA Cup, our aim is to stay in the Premier League."
