Sam Allardyce is looking for his first victory as Palace manager at the fifth attempt in all competitions.
Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 14 league matches (D3, L10).
They have conceded a goal in each of their last 20 away league matches since the 0-0 draw at Bournemouth on Boxing Day 2015.
