without the suspended Paul Ritchie or the injured Pedro Matias. Aaron
Kerr will not make the bench as he still fights injury. New signing Tony
Dinning is in line for a midfield starting place after his recent move
from Wigan.
Palace - The Eagles expect
Micheal Hughes to return to the starting XI as will player boss Kit
Symons after his mid week stint with the Welsh national team.
Darren Powell is their only real injury doubt with a thigh injury.
