Crystal Palace

New loan signing Mark Hudson goes straight into the Palace starting line-up for tomorrow's clash at Watford.

Centre-half Hudson, 21, signed on a month's loan from Premiership Fulham as Kit Symons and TONY POPOVIC (both hamstring) are doubtful, while Darren Powell (thigh) is out.

Aki Riihilahti has recovered from his hamstring injury but Shaun Derry (groin) and Michael Hughes (hamstring) are doubts.

Curtis Fleming is out for two months after breaking a bone in his leg at home to Burnley last week.

Thomas Myhre keeps his place in goal after having his loan move from Sunderland extended.

Watford's Heidar Helguson faces a late fitness test after suffering a thigh injury. He could partner former Palace striker Bruce Dyer in attack.
