Palace problems as Irons get set for return
And with James Tomkins ready to face up to his old side for the first time aready the anticipation is underway.
Tomkns has revealed that this will be a massive match for him and he could be in for a torrid afternoon should Andy Carroll be back in the squad as expected.
The match is set to be shown on BT Sport 1 and 4 a week on Sunday with an outside chance that Aaron Cresswell will be available for the game.
It looks hard for Slaven Bilic to drop Pedro Obiang who could now be in for an extended run after impressing against Middlesborough and there may be some question mars over ths skipper Mark Noble’s position.
Manu Lanzini looks certain to return for the etirely out of touch Gokhan Tore which will give the Irons a muc more competitive look.
