Tomorrow’s meeting with Stoke is expected to see Palace boss Iain Dowie sticking with the side that outclassed Sheffield United last week.
The Potters are one of the other form teams in the division at the moment, along with Palace, so a win would be another great confidence boost for the Eagles.
With the team letting in very few goals lately, new defender Mikele Leigertwood will have to wait for his chance to break into the starting team.
However the game is also likely to see the return of Ade Akinbiyi to Selhurst Park – and we all know what happens when former players come up against Palace!
Stoke also have John Eustace back from suspension, but will be missing Clint Hill, Kris Commons and Richard Johnson.
Probable Palace XI
Berthelin
Butterfield Hudson Popovic Granville
Routledge Riihilahti Hughes Gray
