Team news

Crystal Palace winger Victor Moses will face a fitness test on an ankle injury. Central defenders Paddy McCarthy and Claude Davis both have viruses and may have to sit out. On-loan West Ham forward Freddie Sears (ankle) and Stern John (elbow) are still missing.

Blackpool's Ian Evatt (hamstring), Danny Coid (tibia) and Ishmel Demontagnac (hamstring) are still on the treatment table.

Forwards Daniel Nardiello (hip), Gary Taylor-Fletcher (ankle) and Stephen McPhee (knee) are also doubtful.

Quotes

Ian Holloway

[After defeat to Bristol City] "I believe in these players and I believe they will respond to what I've said. It's all about the response now and hopefully we can bounce back at Crystal Palace on Saturday."

Danny Butterfield

"I think after the well documented Scunthorpe game we've rolled our sleeves up and worked even harder to keep the clean sheets, over the last three games we've done that and that's a huge positive for all the lads.

"Who is to say that we won't go out Saturday and score three goals inside 20 minutes. I think as long as we're solid and dogged and keep the clean sheets I don't think the goals will be far away."
