Matthias Jaissle predicted one of Dan Burn, Amar Dedic and Will Osuala would be fit to start today but as it turns out, all three return with Anthony Elanga and Jacob Ramsey fit enough for places on the bench too.
That trio make up three of five changes from the defeat to Aston Villa, with Fabian Schar also in at the back as Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman both drop to the bench.
Jacob Murphy also comes in on the right flank, with Lewis Miley and Yoane Wissa both among the substitutes, and Matias Fernandez-Pardo unable to recover in time to feature.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is back in a Crystal Palace starting league line-up for the first time since the opening weekend as he continues his return from injury to replace Jorgen Strand Larsen, who misses out altogether after his injury in Thursday's draw at Besiktas.
At the back, Axel Disasi slots straight back in following the three-match ban for his red card at Ipswich, with Honest Ahanor also absent.
Dwight McNeil will support Mateta with Daichi Kamada dropping back into midfield alongisde Adam Wharton, and Quinten Timber missing with a hamstring issue.
Hello from Selhurst Park where the three points on offer this afternoon have barely been bigger this season.
It's almost underselling it to say both Pierre Sage and Matthias Jaissle could both do with a win today.
Four wins from their first 14 Premier League games combined hasn't done much to get them off to a positive start with their respective new clubs - but Palace's 5-0 defeat at rivals Brighton last weekend didn't help either.
Jaissle felt his side deserved more from last weekend's narrow home defeat to Aston Villa... Can they make it count today?
