Dean Smith has reported no fresh injury concerns for Aston Villa.

Roy Hodgson has said Martin Kelly is available for selection in place of Gary Cahill who injured his hamstring against Chelsea in midweek.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has beaten Aston Villa eight times, more often than he has any other side in the competition.
