Crystal Palace XI vs Bournemouth: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and latest injuries

Roy Hodgson will reunite Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins at the heart of Crystal Palace's defence when the Eagles face Bournemouth.

The former England manager had hoped to have summer signing and player of the season so far Gary Cahill back fit after he missed Saturday's win at Burnley with an ankle injury, but the defender's return will have to wait until the weekend at least.

Sakho, who replaced the injured Scott Dann from the bench at Burnley and featured for the Under-23s last week as he works back to match fitness having undergone surgery on a knee injury towards the end of last season.

Jordan Ayew should continue to lead the line while Andros Townsend is likely to get the nod ahead of Jeffrey Schlupp once more despite the latter's goal from the bench at Turf Moor.

Wilfried Zaha will be looking to notch for a third consecutive game having bagged his first against Liverpool before opening the scoring on Saturday.
