Palace v Swansea City

Selhurst Park, Sunday 3.00pm

Alan Pardew

Team news

Manager Alan Pardew has a clean bill of health and will be aiming to end Crystal Palace's season on another high.

Pardew is likely to take a look at some fringe players with Wayne Hennessey staying in goal, and the manager may decided to stick with Martin Kelly at centre half and Jordon Mutch in midfield.

Swansea's Ki Sung-yueng is out after undergoing a minor knee operation. Manager Garry Monk may also give rare starts to Leon Britton, Jay Fulton and Modou Barrow.

Palace (from): Speroni, Hennessey, Souare, Mariappa, Hangeland, Ward, Chamakh, Dann, Delaney, Kelly, Ledley, Jedinak, Puncheon, McArthur, Bolasie, Zaha, Murray, Sanogo, Gayle, Ameobi, Lee, Mutch, Kaikai.

Swansea (from): Fabianski, Richards, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Cork, Shelvey, Montero, Sigurdsson, Gomis, Tremmel, Rangel, Tiendalli, Bartley, Fulton, Britton, Dyer, Emnes, Barrow, Grimes, King.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"We're all fit and well, and we're looking forward to the last home game. Julian is an icon here and he has his testimonial on Tuesday. I am purposely not starting him in this league game, so every fan need to come on Tuesday if they want to see him.

"He's been a terrific servant and those ticket sales need to improve, so he won't play on Sunday. I haven't thought about our number one for next year – Jules is our number one and Wayne is getting a couple of games. That's the situation.

"We're starting to finalise our end-of-season reports, and that will tell us a lot. Since I've been here, in the 18 games we're sixth in the table with the team we have, and that's incredible really from where we were.

"We're hoping to pick up three more points on Sunday to reinforce that position and then we need to build on that.

"We'll find out where we're lacking in the group and try to strenghthen it. We have 17,000 season ticket holders already pledged to support us next year, which is fantastic.

"I am sure that will grow, our memberships are on sale and this club is growing fast, and we need to make sure we have a team which is growing fast as our fans are going."

Marouane Chamakh

"I feel better, so much better. I am happy because I haven't started a game for three months. It was so hard to train, do rehab and not play.

"We have been good away from home this season, I don't know why, there isn't less pressure – maybe it's good because we can work on that for next season."
