Crystal Palace can beat Tottenham at Wembley, insists Hodgson

Roy Hodgson is adamant Crystal Palace do not need convincing they can succeed against Tottenham, despite having just witnessed them outclassing European champions Real Madrid.

While bottom of the Premier League table with the division's worst defensive record - something which owed much to a lack of confidence - they have improved since Hodgson's appointment and he insists they are not overwhelmed by the challenge Spurs present.
