Hodgson shuffles pack with six changes v Wolves

Roy Hodgson has shuffled the pack by making six changes for Palace’s clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers, with new signing Jean-Phillipe Mateta amongst the substitutes.

There are three changes in defence, where Nathaniel Clyne and Patrick van Aanholt replace Joel Ward and Tyrick Mitchell at full-back, whilst Scott Dann accompanies Cheikhou Kouyate in his first Palace appearance since Boxing Day.

James McCarthy returns to midfield in place of James McArthur, and Michy Batshuayi is rewarded for his goalscoring cameo on Tuesday night with a starting berth.

Jordan Ayew also comes into the attack, as Andros Townsend and Christian Benteke drop to the bench.
