“He’s been back in training, which is good news for us,” said Palace manager Roy Hodgson. “He’ll be available to play at the weekend.”

James Tomkins is out with a thigh strain and Naououri Ahamada misses out with an ankle knock.

Hodgson said on Thursday: “Ahamada has taken a knock to his ankle. He didn’t train Tuesday and didn’t train today, but will have a fitness test tomorrow – it’s a knock rather than an injury.”

Michael Olise will hope to continue his recent good form, with Palace all-but safe after reaching 40 points with their 4-3 win over West Ham last weekend.

Eberechi Eze continue in a deeper midfielder role.

Nathan Ferguson and James McArthur remain sidelined.

Confirmed Palace XI: Johnstone, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Schlupp, Olise, Eze, Zaha, Ayew

Subs: Guaita, Milivojevic, Lokonga, Mateta, Hughes, Edouard, Richards, Riedewald, Clyne
