Palace v Blackpool

Bolstered with three fresh recruits Crystal Palace will be aiming to break into the play-offs with victory over Blackpool.

New loan signings Scott Sinclair, Kyel Reid and Nathan Ashton will go straight into the Eagles squad for Saturday's clash.

Chelsea ace Sinclair is set to replace Victor Moses, who is suffering with a groin injury and the other two may have settle for a bench appearance.

Danny Butterfield will be battling for a starting place after overcoming a thigh injury that has sidelined him for the last three matches. He could come in for Jose Fonte with Matt Lawrence moving over to centre half.

Winger PAUL Ifill is still out with a hamstring tear, Neil Danns (groin) is a doubt, while Carl Fletcher and Sean Scannell face fitness tests after representing Wales and Republic of Ireland Under 21 respectively in midweek.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Joe Martin signed for Blackpool on loan until the end of the season and will be added to the squad.

Ex-Eagle PAUL DICKOV is back from a hamstring problem but Palace keeper Scott Flinders won't play under terms of his loan agreement with Blackpool.
