"We always want to win and I think we don't need an extra motivation. "It's the first time in the club's history we play European football and this is motivation enough. "We enter every single competition to win it and have huge respect for every opposition, so the first goal is to win tomorrow, that's the most important thing.""
"They play fantastic football, they play a similar shape to what we play, 3-4-3, very similar patterns, and I like the intensity,"
"They have many young players and one or two more experienced players like Ben [Chilwell], a great mix, and so he [Rosenior] is doing a fantastic job."
Crystal Palace travel to face Strasbourg on Thursday with Strasbourg sitting a point and two places above Palace in the standings.

Thursday's fixture matches a fifth-placed Ligue 1 side against a fifth-placed Premier League side. Strasbourg operate a 3-4-3 shape, feature intense out-of-possession runs, many young players and experienced figures such as Ben Chilwell, reflecting strong work by manager Liam Rosenior.
