Jordan Ayew has sought to rally Crystal Palace fans ahead of tonight's visit of Arsenal.

The striker says Selhurst Park must become an intimidating place for visitors.

He told Palace's website: “At home, with our supporters and with players who have our quality, it's normal that we put teams under pressure and make it hard for teams.

“A team like Crystal Palace have to make it difficult for every team, and at home especially, it should be our fortress, with the twelfth man that we have – our supporters.

“That's what we try to do, and we'll do it again on Monday. We want to have a great season, and that starts from winning games at home."

Ayew added: “It'll be a really good feeling to be back at home in front of our fans, with a really good atmosphere.

“Since I've been at this football club, I've never seen them have one game where there's no atmosphere – every game it's the same. They are going to back us – and we have to do the rest."
