Team News
Scott Dann will be given the weekend to prove his fitness for Crystal Palace's Monday night Premier League clash with Sunderland.
The centre-back is yet to return to full training after knee trouble, but Eagles boss Neil Warnock is ready to give him every chance of facing the Black Cats.
James McArthur could also return after a hip complaint, while Damien Delaney is available after serving a one-match ban.
Meanwhile, Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher will be fit.
The Scotland international limped off shortly after half-time in last Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Arsenal with a foot problem, but has recovered and is expected to resume at Selhurst Park, while there could be a debut for full-back Anthony Reveillere.
However, there is no other good news for head coach Gus Poyet with defenders Sebastian Coates (thigh) and Billy Jones (hamstring) and midfielders Ricky Álvarez (knee) and Emanuele Giaccherini (ankle) still on the sidelines.
Stat of the game: The last three Monday night games at Selhurst Park have produced 17 goals.
