Having scored in Palace’s 3-0 win over Leicester last time out, Wilfried Zaha’s display acted as the perfect audition for Foxes manager Claude Puel.

The former Manchester United winger has seen a real upturn in form this term, who’s goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in October ensured the Eagles of their first league win.

While consistency appears to be his biggest downfall, he has shown that he can take matters into his own hands in a Palace team that had been lacking confidence.

Four goals in 13 appearances may not be the best conversion rate, but he holds the ability to create something out of nothing.

Alongside Demarai Gray, Marc Albrighton and Jamie Vardy, the 25-year-old could do some great things and under the right guidance, his goal-scoring form can improve.
