Palace v Rotherham United

Selhurst Park, Saturday 3.00pm

Steve Kember

Team news

Tony Popovic is ruled out with a hamstring injury, and the same injury means Andrew Johnson will not play again this season.

Aki Riihilahti remains sidelined with a thigh problem - but Jamie Smith is due back in a fortnight from his hamstring injury.

Midfielder Shaun Derry returns to the squad following a thigh injury, and Danny Granville is available again after suspension.

Rotherham manager Ronnie Moore has no new injury or suspension problems to worry about, although loan signing Gareth Farrelly has returned to employers Bolton following a successful loan spell at Millmoor.

Moore is likely to stick with the same side that carved out a 1-1 draw with Leicester last weekend although midfielder John Mullin may be recalled to the starting line-up at the expense of Nick Daws.

One to watch

Darren Byfield

The ex-Villa man's season has tailed off somewhat since his spectacular start agains the 'wall, but he can still be a lethal finisher.
