Predicted Crystal Palace line-up to face Brighton in the Premier League

Crystal Palace will lock horns with Brighton at the Amex on Tuesday as Roy Hodgson targets a second successive Premier League win.

The Eagles won their first game at home this season after they beat Burnley 2-0 on Saturday. Roy Hodgson will hope his team takes the result against Burnley as a springboard ahead of the busy run of fixtures.

Brighton, meanwhile, come into the game on the back of a 2-1 win at Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

Team News

Hodgson has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to Brighton.

Probable Crystal Palace XI

Formation: 4-4-2

Manager: Roy Hodgson

Wayne Hennessey (GK)

Hennessey is Palace’s undisputed No.1 in goal and should start at Brighton.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB)

Wan-Bissaka has been excellent at right-back, giving the opposition absolutely no chance to get past him. He is a certain starter for Tuesday’s fixture.

James Tomkins (CB)

A no-nonsense defender, Tomkins will look to keep things tight at the back against the Seagulls.

Mamadou Sakho (CB)

Sakho can pick out a pass from the back but can be ugly at times with his mistimed tackles. However, he should start on Tuesday.

Patrick van Aanholt (LB)

A flying left-back, Van Aanholt gives Palace an attacking outlet down the left flank. He is a major threat for the opposition due to his pace and crossing ability.

James McArthur (RM)

McArthur would be looking to get on the scoresheet at the Amex after netting in the 2-0 victory over Burnley last weekend.

Luka Milivojevic (CM)

Milivojevic brings stability to the team, protects the back-four and also pops up with the odd goal. He is one of the first names on the Crystal Palace team sheet.

Cheikhou Kouyate (CM)

Kouyate brings power and physicality to the Palace engine room, although we are yet to see his best this season.

Max Meyer (LM)

Meyer is an intelligent player who can pick out a pass from any position on the pitch. He is slowly starting to find his feet in the Premier League.

Wilfried Zaha

Wilfried Zaha (LS)

Zaha is Palace’s main man, a player who can produce moments of magic. He can change the course of a game in the blink of an eye. He is a certain starter against Brighton.

Andros Townsend (RS)

Scored a wonderful goal last weekend and will look to add to his tally on Tuesday.
