“When you have players you have to make sure you get them on the pitch and then somehow things work out.
“We need all of them, aggressive, energetic, full-on, a little angry, full of desire, things like that, and they're more likely to be in 'rhythm' than dealing with their situation. We need them to be like, “I don't have a rhythm, I don't have a rhythm.'' “You can play for years.'' That kind of feeling. We must try to avoid that. ”
Crystal Palace will be without Chris Richards, Rob Holding, Cheick Doucoure and Matheus Franca due to injury.
The Eagles have been boosted by the return of a fit Michael Oliseh, with his manager Oliver Glasner saying the midfielder could start the game.
Jairo Riedewald has been out with injury since February but has returned to training and could return to the squad.
Palace have won just one of Glasner's last 10 games in his first managerial role, without a win in five of those and losing three of those.
The result leaves the south London club five points clear of the relegation zone going into week 33.
