CONFIDENCE is still high at Palace despite last weekend's FA Cup defeat to Liverpool, says defender Scott Dann.
Had the Eagles won, they would have been into the quarter-finals and one game away from featuring at Wembley.
Dann and his team-mates have been on a fantastic run of form since Alan Pardew's arrival at the start of January, and the centre-back can see light at the end of the tunnel, 13 points away from that magical 40-point mark in the Premier League.
"The league is the bread and butter, we know that with another 13 games and we know we're not safe with some massive games coming up," he said.
"We need to make sure we're on it against Arsenal and better than we were against Liverpool. It doesn't matter what competition you're in, you always want to win.
"The gaffer has brought a lot of confidence and that has showed since he's been here. There's a bit more freedom, players get forward and he wants crosses into the box and get shots off."
