The one thing Palace ace Wilfried Zaha wants to put right now Premier League season has returned

Crystal Palace return to action after three months off on Saturday evening.

And it will be a momentous occasion for television broadcasters, with it being the first ever Premier League clash to be aired on BBC.

As ever eyes will be on Eagles talisman Wilfried Zaha - the player Palace supporters generally look to to drive them forward.

The Eagles take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium at 7.45pm on Saturday night, with Zaha expecting the relegation side to come at them from the off.

Speaking to Premier League productions, Zaha said: "I'm raring to go!

"We want to win the game, but they have to win as well. They're going to be very attacking. I feel like we're going to have to use our counter attacks when we get the opportunity."

By his own admission, Zaha has had a quiet season so far, with just three goals and three assists in the first 29 games of the campaign.

But the three month hiatus could work in his favour, with Zaha keen to make up for what's gone on earlier in the campaign.

He added: "I don't think I've had the best of seasons myself, I feel like I should have scored more goals.

"But I still feel like I can make that right now. Nine games left, give it a big push, my own goal target was to get double digits this season and I still feel like i can do it, if I push myself."
