Neil Warnock
Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock is not concerned about fixture congestion with his side facing an FA Cup replay after the 0-0 at Leicester.
"Both sides cancelled each other out," he said. "They matched us up with their system and there wasn’t a lot of space.
"I couldn’t see them scoring apart from free-kicks and likewise with ourselves - it was a drab game. The most pleasing aspect was that we looked solid at the back.
"I’m not too bothered about having another match to congest the fixtures. I said to the lads before the match I would love to have a cup run - and I told them afterwards that sometimes horrible games like these are the starts of them."
Foxes manager Nigel Pearson said: "It was an opportunity to see how we compare against a Championship side and I thought we did pretty well. We were never under too much pressure and always looked the likeliest to score.
"It was a game of few chances but it was always going to be like that because Palace are a very organised and competitive side.
"But I thought we had the better opportunities and the lion's share of the play and performed pretty well. We could have done without a replay, but a replay is better than a defeat."
