Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Neil Warnock, Crystal Palace coach:

(on Everton and the mentality of their players):

"The thing about Everton's players is that they are all, their feet are all on the ground. There's nobody that's above themselves and I think that makes for such a great dressing room and I would imagine every one of them would like to play on Sunday, that played last night (in an impressive 4-1 win over German side Wolfsburg in the Europa League), and when you're playing well, like they are at the moment, you want to play against the lesser sides of the Premier League, don't you, you kind of fancy it. And likewise, our lads will be looking forward to it, because it's a great stage, I think, Goodison (Everton's home ground Goodison Park)."

SOUNDBITE (English) Neil Warnock, Crystal Palace coach:

(on Everton defender Phil Jagielka, a player he brought into professional football at Sheffield United 14 years ago. Jagielka has been criticised for his England performances at the World Cup and since):

"I think The answer to the critics is what he did last night (in the Europa League against Wolfsburg). I thought he was superb last night and that's the way to answer people, by turning out and playing and I'm sure the Everton fans, they might be even happier if he doesn't get picked for England, the Everton fans, because he does a wonderful job for Everton and he has done for many years."

SOUNDBITE (English) Neil Warnock, Crystal Palace coach:

(on the hamstring injury to striker Marouane Chamakh and the risks of bringing him back too early):

"We are not far away, yeah. Chamakh's training, he has trained the last few days, so we're going to see. We will probably leave him until the last minute, because obviously it's is only three weeks (since the injury) until Saturday, for Chamakh, and he is an important player for us, so I don't want to take a chance if it means there is a risk of losing him for six weeks, are you with me? So we will play it by ear with the physios and Chamakh, really. Yes, he's still got a chance. He has trained the last two days and hasn't felt anything, feels good, but I was quick myself, you know, I used to have hamstring (trouble) myself, so I know you can do all the training and on a game you can do something without thinking about it and you pull it again, so you've got to be ever so careful."
