Palace v Doncaster Rovers

Selhurst Park, Tuesday 8.00pm

Wilfried Zaha

Team news

Crystal Palace welcome back winger Wilfried Zaha after he completed his three-game ban for his red card against Burnley earlier this month.

Sean Scannell (ankle) and Mile Jedinak (groin) are injury doubts. Jon Williams could come in, along with David Wright who has recovered from a calf problem.

Doncaster's Shelton Martis is available after overcoming recent hamstring and calf issues but Brian Stock is a doubt (virus). Kyle Bennett (toe) and George Friend are fit again. Midfielder Martin Woods (knee) and full-back Tommy Spurr (hand) are both out.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"That [Derby defeat on Saturday] was the first time we have been beaten in 10 games so it's about how we respond and deal with it. There were lots of encouraging moments for me I'm confident we can go on another run."

Julian Speroni

"It has been one of my best seasons. Not only because of saves but also solid performances. People tend to only see saves and will say that I have not been busy on a certain day when in fact I have - they just did not notice it.

"It might be a cross or a kick but it is more complicated than that. You have to give credit to the keepers because the ball moves a lot and with the bobbles on the pitch it makes it difficult to read where it will bounce. You deserve credit even when it appears to be a routine save. My target now is nine more clean sheets."

Dean Saunders

"We have got eight games left and if we won them all, we would end up with 50 odd points. There is no reason why we can’t win them all.

"We have had no luck in certain games but I’ve said to the lads that by 10.30pm on Friday we could be out of the relegation zone. We have beaten Palace at home and there is no reason why we can’t do it again.

"It is not easy to keep morale up but that’s my job. I have to use my experience and get us over the finishing line.

"We have had a bad three games, the worst run since I’ve been here, and we have given all those teams a chance and they are still trying to stay below us! We have to get some points on the board quickly."
