Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson does not fear his players will lose concentration over the final run of Premier League games.

The Eagles blew a lead against Leicester City on Monday, eventually losing 2-1 at King Power.

Palace have no relegation threat or European places to play for, but Hodgson insists his squad are not quitters.

"I don't fear that because I know the players," Hodgson said after the game. "That's not the kind of group we are. I don't think anyone who watched the game could accuse us of not doing our utmost.

"If we hadn't conceded the goal so early in the second half, our confidence would have been high. The equaliser came too early after half-time. We didn't get enough time to enjoy the fact we were leading. I honestly thought we'd see the game through... but I was wrong."
