Roy Hodgson says Crystal Palace need reinforcements when the January transfer window opens.
The Eagles are in sixth place and look capable of pinching a European spot with a number of big clubs struggling.
But Hodgson believes he needs more depth in his squad if the club want to push higher up the table.
He said: "Most people will tell you that they are expecting the clubs with the vast amounts to spend on quality players to assert themselves over 38 games.
"If we are going to get close, we are going to have to make certain that we are not reliant on so few forwards and full-backs.
"That is something we will have to address in the January transfer window."
