--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crystal Palace will be without skipper Fitz Hall, who begins a three-match ban after being sent off on Saturday.

Tony Popovic (back) or Mark Hudson (ankle) hope to recover in time to partner Darren Ward in central defence. Midfielder Michael Hughes is doubtful.

Preston will be without defenders Graham Alexander (hamstring) and Claude Davis (banned) for the FA Cup replay.

Brett Ormerod, Brian Stock and Simon Whaley are cup-tied. Adam Nowland, Andy Smith and Andy Lonergan are still out.

KEY MATCH STATS


CRYSTAL PALACE and Preston meet for the third time in 10 days. Palace are one place and one point superior to their Lancashire opponents in the Championship play off zone at fifth spot, but lost last Tuesday's League duel 0-2 at Deepdale, having held the Lilywhites to a 1-1 draw in the Cup clash there three days before. Andy Johnson's early opener proved insufficient to land Iain Dowie's side a definite place in the last 16. Palace have drawn three of their last five matches in all competitions and won only one - that being Saturday's 1-0 home success against Cardiff.


Sorry wrong board. Thought you may be slightly interested. We should progress tonight and have a great chance of reaching the Qtr final.

Egypt v Senegal

Kick-off: 1700 GMT
Venue: Cairo International Stadium

Egypt are hoping that forward Ahmed 'Mido' Hossam will be fit, as he has been struggling to recover from a groin strain.

Senegal's El Hadji Diouf and defender Ferdinand Coly are struggling to be ready for the semi-final game.

Diouf has a groin strain, while Coly, the captain of the team, has a thigh complaint.


Come on the gyppo's

They have key players out so me thinks not. We`re to strong for most teams at Selhurst. Bar one of course.

But they are coming to the Palace, Selhurst Park the home of the mighty EAGLES and with a very hostile atmosphere to match any in the football league.

billy davies is a better manager than dowie and nugent is a quality striker who scores real goals.
