Interim Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is confident supporters will back his struggling side when their relegation battle resumes against Leicester after the international break.

The 75-year-old, who managed Palace for four seasons from 2017 to 2021, was announced on Tuesday as the temporary replacement for his own sacked successor, Patrick Vieira, who left Selhurst Park on Friday.
