Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson could risk Patrick van Aanholt at left-back this afternoon despite the Dutchman still not having fully recovered from a hamstring injury suffered earlier this month.
Such is Palace's shortage at the back that Hodgson has little choice, especially with Jeffrey Schlupp out long-term and Jairo Riedewald still suffering from a knee injury.
Scott Dann suffered a calf strain scare in training on Friday morning meaning Cheikhou Kouyate may have to step in and cover at the back once more.
Hodgson said: "It could have come at a better time when there is a better chance of recovering an injured player but it hasn't so we'll get on with it and do the best we can in the games we have to play."
Christian Benteke impressed on his return to the side against Brighton on Monday and will again get a chance to find a first goal of the season for the Eagles when he continues in the place of Andros Townsend, another long-term absentee.

Crystal Palace predicted XI [4-3-3]: Guaita; Kelly, Tomkins, Kouyate, Van Aanholt; Milivojevic, McArthur, McCarthy; Ayew, Zaha, Benteke
