Crouch said:"It's pretty clear I probably won't start," he said.
"Obviously if the manager plays one up front, he is more than likely to go with Fernando - and rightly so, he's been fantastic this season.
"Before when he was rotating at least I was getting a game here and there. But the manager's obviously stuck with a formation now that seems to be working, and credit to the players that have been playing in that system
"We have certainly been playing well and I think we have got a great chance of going through to the semi-finals now in Europe.
"But for me, I will just have to obviously keep working hard and try and change his mind."
Crouch revealed: "It can be disheartening, but you have to keep going.
"I am one of those players that will keep going, I keep working hard in training, and, if called upon then hopefully I'll do what I did at Arsenal.
"At a big club there is always that pressure. Even if you start every game, if you don't perform, you know you are going to be out.
"But maybe me more so, with the fact that I haven't played that much this season, so, when I do, I have to make sure that I do well and do the business to try and stay in."
