Jack Butland has backed Crystal Palace talisman Wifried Zaha to shine when the Eagles meet Chelsea in Sunday’s FA Cup semi final. The Palace keeper is also confident that the south London club can upset the odds and reach the final after a fine season under Patrick Vieira.
Palace have enjoyed an encouraging maiden campaign under Vieira’s management. The former Nice boss has guided the club to 10th in the Premier League table and masterminded wins over the likes of Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal.
Zaha is also enjoying a renaissance under the 45-year-old with his 12 goals thus far representing his best return since he returned to the club in 2015. And Butland is confident that the Ivorian will continue his fine form against Chelsea on Sunday.
