Steve Kember and Terry Bullivant

Steve Kember should give on-loan Sunderland goalkeeper THOMAS MYHRE his Palace debut in tomorow's match at Gillingham.

Darren Powell is out for six weeks with a thigh injury after going off injured in the midweek 4-3 defeat at home to Ipswich.

Ben Watson has recovered from a toe infection and Michael Hughes should also return after his compensation claim with old club Birmingham has been sorted.

Gillingham go into the game with a full-strength squad except for top striker Marlon King. He limped of with a hamstring pull in last week's match against Wigan.

Boss Andy Hessenthaler said: "It is a blow as he and Rod (Wallace) were getting an understanding. But now I might start Mamady Sidibe or Paul Shaw could come back in - or both.

"Palace have been indifferent like ourselves. I watched them at Ipswich though and they didn’t deserve to lose. They are on the right lines."
