Crystal Palace
Brighton
- Chris Richards is a doubt for Crystal Palace and while Nathaniel Clyne started the 1-1 draw with Southampton, Jefferson Lerma may drop into a three-man backline.
- That's because Will Hughes is back following a ban and is expected to partner Adam Wharton in midfield.
- Matheus Franca came off the bench to bag a late equaliser at Southampton on Wednesday and is pushing for a start on Saturday.
- Lewis Dunk came off during the second half of Brighton's 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa, but is expected to start again on Saturday at rivals Crystal Palace.
- Brighton are without eight players for the A23 Derby, with none of those who missed the loss to Villa expected to recover in time.
- Carlos Baleba is expected to start in midfield, while Yankuba Minteh, Matt O'Riley and Danny Welbeck are among those who could feature.
