Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce says his players must prove they are Premier League players when his former club Bolton visit Selhurst Park for an FA Cup replay on Tuesday.
Allardyce plans to make several changes to his side with one eye on Everton's visit on Saturday, but revealed he would name a team brimming with Premier League experience.
Indeed, the Palace boss suggested he had already decided on his starting XI for the cup tie and that only one name is short on top flight experience.
"The team for tomorrow night. If they don't win, they're saying they're League One players for me, not Premier League players," Allardyce said.
"They're playing a League One team who are playing very, very well, who are really well drilled, who are really well organised.
"But the team out there with a lot of Premier League experience can't beat that on their own ground it tells me a lot about those players."
Palace are without a win since Allardyce took over just before Christmas and sit just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League.

But the former England manager believes victory in the cup can help the fuel the club's survival bid.
He added: "The win that eludes us is a moral boost. If we can get it tomorrow, even though it's not affecting the league it gives you a little more insight into the players, a little more confidence in the players that you're playing.
"The players have a responsibility to play without the fear that can strike you when you're on such a bad run and bring your best out of yourself."
