Selhurst Park, Saturday 3.00pm
Palace left-back Dean Moxey may come into the side after his recovery from a knee problem. David Wright is sidelined with a calf injury, while Jonathan Williams is still missing with a broken leg.
Watford defender Lloyd Doyley is available for selection after his red-card in midweek was overturned. Troy Deeney is a doubt due to a hamstring problem and Sean Murray (thigh) is also a unlikely to play.
Roy Hodgson
"We set standards for ourselves and go out to try to win every game and once we get things right we will start climbing the table. Watford have been in very good form in recent weeks but, as with any opponent in this division, we know if we play well we are capable of getting the result."
"I've never been out this long and the overriding emotion has been frustration. I'm getting irritated and probably taking it out on my family a little bit because this is a new experience.
"Manchester United was bittersweet for me. I'm a fan so it was nice to play there again but on the other side it was frustrating because I didn't know what I had done to myself."
Sean Dyche
"We are as confident as you can be going into the next game. We have had that nice run and the lads have responded really well and given good performances.
"Palace are a side that play from a real strong organisational point of view. They keep control and look to counter. It will be a very competitive game, like all Championship games are. But we go there in good shape, good trim physically, so we are looking forward to the next challenge."
