Team News
Crystal Palace
Sunderland
- Julian Speroni was forced off with a head injury against West Brom last week but should be fine to retain his place in goal ahead of Wayne Hennessey.
- Hangeland may keep his place at the back but Scott Dann is hoping to be back fit and Damien Delaney is available following a suspension.
- Despite two more costly errors last time out Gus Poyet will be encouraged by the fact that Arsenal struggled to break the Black Cats down and were it not for individual mistakes Sunderland may have got a result.
- The Uruguayan may keep changes to a minimum then, with no fresh injury concerns to contend with.
- The manager's biggest decision is likely to be whether to drop Vito Mannone for summer signing Costel Pantillimon and risk denting the Italian's confidence further.
