TEAM NEWS: Gayle doubt for Crystal Palace; Benteke returns for Aston Villa
DWIGHT GAYLE is a doubt for Crystal Palace as they prepare to play Aston Villa tomorrow night (8pm).
Dwight Gayle is a doubt for Crystal Palace
Gayle came off injured against Swansea and could now miss the visit of Paul Lambert's side.
Fraizer Campbell is the obvious replacement for Gayle but on-loan Wilfried Zaha is another option for the Eagles - who will again be without key defenders Damien Delaney (calf) and Adrian Mariappa (knee).
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have been boosted with Christian Benteke set to return from suspension.
Manager Paul Lambert expects defender Ciaran Clark to be fit despite suffering blurred vision in the draw with Burnley at the weekend.
Villa are already short of defensive options with Ron Vlaar, Philippe Senderos and Nathan Baker still out injured.
Crystal Palace provisional squad: Speroni, Hennessey, Kelly, Fryers, Dann, Ward, Hangeland, Jedinak, Bannan, Ledley, McArthur, Bolasie, Thomas, Puncheon, Gayle, Campbell, Johnson, Doyle, Chamakh, Zaha.
Aston Villa provisional squad: Guzan, Given, Hutton, Lowton, Okore, Clark, Herd, Cissokho, Westwood, Richardson, Sanchez, N'Zogbia, Cleverley, Grealish, Cole, Bacuna, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Robinson.
