Palace boss Peter Taylor is expected to name an unchanged side as promotion-chasers Preston visit Selhurst Park.
However, he also hinted that youngsters Lewis Grabban and David Martin could be involved at some point, with both having caught his eye in training.
Michael Hughes may have made his last appearance in a red and blue shirt, with the midfielder injured for the rest of the season and out of contract in the summer.
Dougie Freedman is also ruled out for the next few games by injury.
