Action

Team news

Victor Moses is a doubt for Crystal Palace after hurting his ankle in Thursday's Carling Cup defeat at home to Manchester City.

Shaun Derry and Darren Ambrose should play despite illness, but strikers Stern John (elbow) and Calvin Andrew (knee) are still injured.

Peterborough winger Chris Whelpdale missed the start of the season with a hernia operation and hopes to feature. Tommy Williams (groin) and Jamie Day (ankle) are unlikely to play. Palace fan and Posh winger George Boyd will realise a boyhood dream by playing against the Eagles.

Quotes

Darren Ferguson

"Crystal Palace are a very good side. They have plenty of pace in their side and Neil Warnock will have them very well organised and difficult to beat."

Shaun Derry

"With no disrespect to Peterborough it's chalk and cheese at times. You are not going to come up against opponents like Man City week in week out but what we've got to do is take it into Monday's game and realise we can play like we can against these top players and reproduce it.

"What you find in the Palace dressing room is a real honest group of players and we realise the bread an butter is winning the league games.

"Believe it or not we are also looking forward to being on Sky again on Monday showing people what we are about and getting three points."
