Team news

Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman will make changes from the side that knocked Middlesbrough out of the Carling Cup on Tuesday night. Julian Speroni will return inbetween the posts, with Sean Scannell, Peter Ramage, David Wright, Alex Tunchev, Darren Ambrose and Jermaine Easter likely to return to the starting line-up.

Nathaniel Clyne (foot), Lee Hills (knee), Kagisho Dikgacoi (hamstring) and Owen Garvan (hip) all still out.

New Doncaster Rovers boss Dean Saunders hopes to have Ryan Mason and Billy Sharp back in the side after ankle ligament injuries. But Chris Brown, James Chambers, Martin Woods and Adam Lockwood are missing.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"It wasn't so long ago that we were down the bottom and I know when you are struggling you scrap for every single ball.

"We know it will be a difficult game and this is a very tough league so you don't get given points.

"We'll go up there confident though and hopefully we can get the points. We played well in our last two league games without getting the rewards I feel we have deserved so hopefully we can take a step towards making up for that on Saturday."
