Palace v Stoke – Team news preview

Last updated : 11 November 2006 By Nik Taylor

Peter Taylor has practically a full squad to choose from as he attempts to halt Palace's slide down the table.

Everyone is available for selection once more, apart from young defender Rhoys Wiggins and reserve keeper Julian Speroni.


That gives Taylor the opportunity to shake up his starting line-up once again as he searches for a first win since mid-September.


Key players to return to fitness are Michael Hughes and James Scowcroft, and both will be pushing for starting spots.


Former Eagle Ricardo Fuller is missing for Stoke after his sending off in their last match, so Vincent Pericard will likely start up front for the Potters alongside Mamady Sidibe.

Probable Palace XI:

Kiraly

Butterfield Ward Cort Granville

Soares Hughes Kennedy McAnuff

Morrison Kuqi
