Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Ismaila Sarr remains unavailable following the ankle injury he sustained in Sunday’s game against Manchester United.
-
However, there are “no injury concerns” following the Burnley game on Wednesday. He did concede though “there are a few knocks and a few players with some pain”.
-
He is grateful for the Sunday kick-off rather than the Saturday, especially given Fulham played their midweek match against Manchester City: “It’s a little bit easier [with three days between games]. There’s one more day to rest, so everybody should be fine.”
-
Borna Sosa might be available on Sunday after not featuring in Crystal Palace’s previous three games: “Sosa looks like he could return for the matchday squad. That gives us one more option.”
-
With Palace one point off the top four, he was asked when Crystal Palace can start thinking about Champions League qualification and said: “May. That’s early enough. It’s game by game. There are so many games to think about. It is important to stay focused now on the next game and don’t waste your time and mind on the end of May.”
