Tomkins in defence, Zaha up front: The Crystal Palace lineup some fans want to see vs Wolves

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has some decisions to make when it comes to his team selection for the game against Wolves tomorrow (Sunday).

The Palace manager has an almost fullly-fit squad to choose from, with only Connor Wickham set to miss out against Nuno Espirito Santo's men, who are still searching for their first league win of the campaign.

As such, Hodgson has options when it comes to who plays as the Eagles look to bounce back from a 4-0 defeat away against Tottenham last weekend.

Palace defenders Martin Kelly, Scott Dann and James Tomkins are all in contention to feature following injuries, while James McArthur could return after missing out against Spurs.

Hodgson could be tempted to make changes after the heavy defeat in north London, but it would be a surprise to see the Eagles boss make sweeping changes.

We have made our prediction on the line-up to take to the field to face Wolves, with McArthur returning to the midfield and Jeffrey Schlupp moving back to the wing, after playing in a central role last weekend.

In our predicted line-up, which can be seen below, there is no place for Andros Townsend, who found himself on the bench for the recent games against Manchester United and Aston Villa.

And the Palace fans who have used our widget have picked almost the same 11 players, albeit with one change in defence and a slightly different formation.

In our predicted line-up, Jordan Ayew leads the line up front, with Wilfried Zaha and Schlupp on the wings in a 4-5-1 formation.

But the most popular selection among fans is a 4-4-2 formation, with Zaha lining up alongside Ayew up front and James McArthur on the right hand side of midfield.

The only other change from our predicted line-up is in defence, with James Tomkins starting at the heart of the defence alongside Gary Cahill.

Here is the team the Palace fans have picked.
