KO - 15:00 UK - Selhurst Park
Marco Reich and Aki Riihilahti could return for Crystal Palace against promotion rivals Leeds.
German winger Reich has resumed full training after an ankle injury, while manager Iain Dowie hopes midfielder Riihilahti will have recovered from a groin injury in time to feature.
Forwards Clinton Morrison and Dougie Freedman are likely to shake off respective groin and back problems in time to play, while midfielder Tom Soares came through England Under-21s' midweek win over Norway unscathed.
Danny Granville returned for the reserves in midweek after a lengthy lay-off with a knee injury but is not fit enough to be considered, while fellow defender Danny Butterfield (pelvis) remains sidelined.
Leeds midfielder Shaun Derry is clear to face his former club after completing a two-match suspension as manager Kevin Blackwell enjoys the luxury of having no new injury concerns.
Derry is in line to make his first return to Selhurst Park since switching to South Yorkshire over 12 months ago, but Frazer Richardson (hamstring) and Matt Kilgallon (knee) are still unavailable.
Blackwell welcomed back Liam Miller, Jonathan Douglas, Eddie Lewis and David Healy from international duty on Thursday with none of the first-team regulars reporting injury problems.
Joel Griffiths should keep his place on the bench while striker Richard Cresswell (knee) is sidelined for the rest of the season.
