Team news
Defender Alexander Tunchev and midfielder Owen Garvan are hoping to return to the squad following recent injury lay-offs.

Palace will be hoping to make it a fourth straight away league win, a feat last achieved in February 2004.
Quotes
Malky Mackay
"We need to do a check on Robert Earnshaw he's got a little tightness in his thigh so we need to see how he is."
"David Marshall is touch and go at the moment with the illness he's got. He's unwell, but we will look to see if he will be available or not."
"David been very good for us and ice cold in his judgement in goals. but the flip side of that is that Tom Heaton has worked ever so hard this year. He came on against Derby and was very calm. So I'm delighted to have two goalkeepers who can play consistently in the Championship"
