Action

Team news

Crystal Palace winger Victor Moses is doubtful due to a foot injury but manager Neil Warnock could opt to rest the player ahead of a proposed big money transfer.

Defender Danny Butterfield is available after recovering from a hamstring strain, but Sean Scannell is nursing a hamstring injury.

Plymouth Argyle striker Jamie Mackie hopes to have beaten off a virus to play. Midfielder Jim Patterson (hamstring) is still a doubt.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"This season has been difficult, to say the least, but, to be honest, we all see it as a challenge at Palace. Yes, we have had financial problems. For example we only got paid our December wages on Wednesday.

"But we are all playing for each other and although we are having to sell players to stay afloat, it's all part of daily life at Crystal Palace.

"Victor (Moses) will be in the team tomorrow when people might think, because he's a valuable commodity, I should wrap him in cotton wool. Not me. I let tomorrow look after itself. My concern now is to put out what I hope is my strongest team.

"I'm sorry if it's at Argyle's expense, because the club are very close to my heart. Both me and Mick (Jones) will have friends and family at Home Park to watch us play.

"But the challenge for any manager is to do well for their club and that's what I'm intending to do at Home Park tomorrow."
