Selhurst Park, Wednesday 7.45pm
Eagles boss Alan Pardew is set to ring the changes for this cup game against the Addicks. Joe Ledley is likely to be recalled to the starting line-up, with keeper Wayne Hennessey set to come in.
Forward Connor Wickham may return after a rib injury, while Scott Dann (calf), Joel Ward (knee) and Marouane Chamakh (hamstring) are out.
Charlton midfielder Franck Moussa is set for a return after a 10-month injury lay-off, however, midfielder Cristian Ceballos and forward Simon Makienok are sidelined.
Roy Hodgson
"It is part and parcel of the game. It didn’t work out for me or Charlton unfortunately, as much as I tried. Therefore if they have bad feeling about that, there is nothing I can do. All I can do is try and create the best team I can here in the job that I'm at.
"I just think that it is a game which is important for both sets of fans. It is a derby, it is two clubs that have had some history - and obviously I’m part of that history as well - so there will be a lot of feeling about the game. It is a game I’m looking forward to."
"I think to play in a derby game against Charlton for Palace will be new for a lot of the boys so they’ll get to learn what they’re all about quite quickly.
"I haven’t played against them too many times myself but I remember they were always tasty affairs, and that they mean a lot to the fans and they get right behind their side on big occasions like that and I’m sure will happen again tonight.
"It’s cup football so there will be a winner at the end of the day and hopefully after all the preparation we’ve been putting in it’ll be us."
