Team news

New Palace manager Alan Pardew is likely to make wholesale changes for this cup clash against the Conference club.

The Eagles have played four games in 10 days and a new line-up will give Pardew the chance to run the rule over fringe members of the squad.

Wales international goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is set to come in for Julian Speroni, and there could be recalls for centre backs Brede Hangeland and Paddy McCarthy.

Jonny Williams and Glenn Murray have returned from respective loan spells at Ipswich and Reading and could also feature.

Mile Jedinak (Australia) and Yannick Bolasie (DR Congo) are away on international duty and Marouane Chamakh is out with a hamstring injury.

Dover manager Chris Kinnear is set to name an unchanged side with son Chris Kinnear Jnr sidelined with a knee injury.

Palace have won 14 and lost just one of their last 16 FA Cup matches against non-league sides. However, they've won just two of their last 14 FA Cup matches away from home.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"To change something into expansive football is not going to suit us and we’re going to find that teams are technically more dominant than us in the Premier League.

"We have to find a different way, and the moment that way isn’t bearing the results we want. A few tweaks here and there, a general graduation and evolution of our system, and that’s as how much I would put on it."

Chris Kinnear

"It doesn't matter who the manager is, ultimately it's down to the lads on the pitch. He can't change Crystal Palace in two days; the players can't change the way they play in two days.

"We won't change how we play, yes we'll have to defend of course, but we are still going to go for it. And why shouldn't we? Wrexham beat Arsenal, Sutton beat Coventry, so maybe now it can be Dover beating Palace - there's a chance."
