Crystal Palace vs Hull City (Selhurst Park, Sunday 12:00)
Crystal Palace
Team news
James Tomkins and Yohan Cabaye face late fitness tests before Crystal Palace select their XI to host Hull in the Premier League on Sunday.
Manager Sam Allardyce could also recall Scott Dann after a knee problem, though he describes any decision to play the central defender as a "calculated risk".
Joel Ward suffered a broken nose in last week's 5-0 defeat at Manchester City, Andros Townsend is struggling with an Achilles injury, and Mamadou Sakho has damaged knee ligaments to the extent he will not play again this season.
Provisional squad: Hennessey, Speroni, Mandanda, Kelly, Schlupp, Van Aanholt, Dann, Delaney, Tomkins, Fryers, Milivojevic, Flamini, McArthur, Cabaye, Zaha, Puncheon, Townsend, Benteke, Campbell, Lee, Ledley, Sako.
Hull City
Team news
Hull will be without winger Lazar Markovic for Sunday's Premier League game at relegation rivals Crystal Palace.
Markovic, on-loan Liverpool, sustained an ankle injury in last week's home defeat to Sunderland and will miss the Tigers' last two matches.
Defender Omar Elabdellaoui (back) will return to contention after missing the last seven games, while midfielder Tom Huddlestone could return to the starting line-up. Head coach Marco Silva has no new injury or suspension worries.
Provisional squad: Jakupovic, Marshall, Robertson, Dawson, Maguire, Ranocchia, Elmohamady, Elabdellaoui, Huddlestone, Evandro, Maloney, Henriksen, Grosicki, Hernandez, Diomande, N'Diaye, Clucas, Niasse, Mbokani.
Nerves at Selhurst Park
It is less than a month since Sam Allardyce was basking in his own magnificence after Crystal Palace’s win over Liverpool. He should have known better – subsequent defeats by Tottenham, Burnley and City have plunged Palace back into trouble. But, well, y’know. Still, Allardyce remains the ultimate survival expert and he will surely have his team properly prepared for the visit of Hull, who are yet to win an away game since Marco Silva’s arrival in January. Then again, Burnley were winless on their travels before pitching up at Selhurst Park a fortnight ago. Don’t go pouring any pints of wine yet.
Need the right team selection tomorrow. Need the travelling support behind all the players. Booing Elmo last week- ****s.
He's got a part to play for us tomorrow I'm sure.
Going to be a cagey affair. Really dont know what to do about who goes up front. Niasse was poor last week and well held the week before. But he is the workhorse so i reckon he'll go with him and look to bring Abel on at 65 minutes.
Its going to be a 5 man midfield, with Sam given licence to get forward more. Evandro just hasnt done enough since his return from injury. We need to win the midfield tomorrow, I thought they controlled the centre of the park last week. N'diaye got to get back to the form he showed a month ago. terrible last game.
