Prior to Saturday's game against Leicester City, Patrick Vieira spoke to the media.


The following are the manager of Crystal Palace's significant quotes:


If Eberechi Eze should be considered for a World Cup call-up, Vieira responded: "His performance will define whether or not his name should be around the conversation."


Vieira claimed that Jordan Ayew "is one of those guys you term a team player" and that having the Ghanaian play in center midfield has given his squad an edge.


"I think we have played fairly well in some of the games," remarked Vieira, who has previously faced Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

"We are now facing the teams that are surrounding us, but it doesn't help," he continued.
