Luke Ayling continued in the captain’s role with Liam Cooper also on the bench, while Adam Forshaw returned to the matchday squad.
Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone made his first league start for the club in place of Vincente Guaita in boss Roy Hodgson’s second game in charge since returning to Selhurst Park. Jordan Ayew was also back in the starting XI as Wilfried Zaha missed out due to a groin injury.
