THE TEAM NEWS
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace have pulled away from any potential relegation danger by winning back-to-back matches 1-0 against Newcastle and Brighton.
- Roy Hodgson will be reluctant to change a winning team but he does have an injury concern over McCarthy so Milivojevic may return.
- Cenk Tosun has picked up an ankle injury in training so he has returned to Everton for treatment which reduces their attacking options.
Predicted line-up (4-1-4-1): Guaita; Ward, Dann, Cahill, Van Aanholt; Kouyate; Zaha, Milivojevic, McArthur, Ayew; Benteke
Unavailable:
Doubtful: Tomkins (Injured), McCarthy (Injured)
WATFORD
- Watford are coming off their best performance and result of the season after beating the previously unbeaten Liverpool 3-0 last weekend.
- The one major negative to the magnificent win last week was the season-ending injury sustained by talented forward Gerard Deulofeu.
- Pereyra will likely deputise in his absence but that will surely be the only change to Nigel Pearson's line-up for this trip to Palace.
Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Foster; Kiko Femenia, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Hughes, Capoue; Sarr, Doucoure, Pereyra; Deeney
Unavailable: Deulofeu (Injured), Janmaat (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
Palace have gone back to basics in recent weeks by keeping things tight at the back and making a clean sheet their priority. They will want to keep this run going and with 12 of their last 14 Premier League matches at home containing under 2.5 goals, expect that to continue against Watford.
