Tyrick Mitchell is excited to finally play in front of the Crystal Palace fans on Wednesday and admitted their absence was the only downside to his winning goal last weekend. Up to 6,500 supporters will be present inside Selhurst Park for the midweek visit of Arsenal and it will be the first time the 21-year-old has played with the Palace faithful in attendance. “No fans here was the only downside but I know they would have been happy at home so that makes me smile at least,” Mitchell said following his winner. “I can’t wait to finally meet the fans in the stadium. A positive end to the first half was key according to Mitchell, who reflected on the message put across by Hodgson and assistant Ray Lewington during the interval.
