Some Crystal Palace fans are saying the same things about Roy Hodgson's team to face Bournemouth

There is no place in the Crystal Palace starting line-up again for Christian Benteke this evening (Tuesday) as the Eagles host Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Mamadou Sakho is the only change to the Crystal Palace line-up from the 2-0 win at Burnley on Saturday, with the Frenchman coming in to the side to replace Scott Dann, who went off injured at Turf Moor.

This is the former Liverpool man's first start for Palace since September 22, when he played in a 1-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Selhurst Park.

However, he came off the bench on Saturday in Lancashire to replace Dann for the last half hour, having played 75 minutes for Palace's U23 side last week against Millwall.

And he is back in the starting line-up this evening (Tuesday), with Gary Cahill and Dann ruled out through injury.

As a result, Sakho starts alongside James Tomkins in the centre of the Palace defence, with Martin Kelly continuing at right-back as Joel Ward is sidelined with a knee injury, while Patrick van Aanholt again starts at left-back.

Palace are otherwise unchanged from the side that defeated Burnley on Saturday, with Jordan Ayew continuing up front, with support from Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend from wide positions.

In midfield, the familiar trio of Luka Milivojevic, Cheikhou Kouyate and James McArthur line up once again for the Eagles.

And Palace fans have been reacting on social media to the team news, with the likes of Benteke, Victor Camarasa and Connor Wickham on the bench.

Here's what they have been saying.
