Hodgson full of 'trepidation'published at 11:37 British Summer Time 1 May 2021
Crystal Palace v Man City (12:30 BST)

When a manager says he is approaching a game with "extreme trepidation", it's hardly going to fill your team with confidence but Roy Hodgson says he is just being realistic.
"You always approach games with Manchester City, certainly over the last four years I have been at Crystal Palace, with extreme trepidation because they are that good," says the Palace boss.
"We don't expect it to be easy and we know we will be punished for any mistakes we make, but that is par for the course when you play the best team in the league.
"I am hoping we will even be playing against the best team in Europe because I would love to see them win the Champions League."
