Iain Dowie

IAIN DOWIE is set to name an unchanged side for Crystal Palace's road trip to Southampton tonight.

The Eagles boss is likely to keep with the side that drew 1-1 with Championship leaders Reading last Friday.

That means Jon Macken should keep his place up front with Andy Johnson and Tom Soares will stay on the right wing.

Marco Reich, Danny Granville and Danny Butterfield are all still missing through injury.

Southampton midfielder Djamel Belmadi is a doubt after going off injured against Ipswich with an achilles injury.

Rory Delap (achilles) and Nathan Dyer (rested) should return to the Saints squad, but Martin Cranie is out with a thigh injury.
