If we're going 352:

Harper
Chester Dawson Davies
Elmohamady Livermore Huddlestone Diame Robertson
Jelavic Hernandez

If it's 442

Harper
Rosenior Chester Davies Robertson
Elmohamady Huddlestone Diame Brady
Jelavic Hernandez

Their main threat comes from their pace out wide, which is why I'd play 442 and include Brady to give Robertson a bit more cover. I think we'll play my top team though.
 
Harper aside, I'd give last weeks lot another go. Apart from the 1st 20 minutes where we didn't get near them, we played quite well, and Davies and Dawson started to show a bit more of an understanding at the back. The only question mark for me would be Quinn for Livermore to give us a bit more of an understanding down the left.
More importantly, Palace rely on their wingers to get out and create their chances (well, that and set pieces), and I wouldn't fancy relying on Elmo and Robertson as wing-backs to both stop Bolasie and Zaha and whilst also being our main attacking threat.
352 seems to work better against teams that play quite narrow, or where we need to stop the balls coming into a main striker. Ironically, it might have been better suited to us last week v Man City than against Palace.
