Crystal Palace team news

Chris Richards is back from a ban, but while Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure are nursing their knee injuries, Ben Chilwell is likely to miss out due to illness.

Jefferson Lerma is expected to make way for Richards at the back, while Will Hughes could be handed a start ahead of Daichi Kamada alongside Adam Wharton in the middle.

In attack, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr will eye recalls to the XI, with Eberechi Eze continuing from the onset.

Aston Villa team news

Like Glasner, Villa boss Unai Emery also kept his key players fresh for the crucial cup game. So the likes of Ollie Watkins and John McGinn will walk back into the line-up, while amid a fully-fit squad, only Chelsea loanee Axel Disasi is cup-tied.

Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres and Lucas Digne will stay put as the back four.
