TEAM NEWS: Hodgson fields strong team against BSC Young Boys

Roy Hodgson has named a strong starting XI to face BSC Young Boys in the Uhrencup decider clash this afternoon.

The manager, who fielded two Development prospects in Palace’s previous game against FC Luzern, has handed a second start to the likes of Christian Benteke, Andros Townsend and Luka Milivojevic, while also bringing in Vicente Guaita in place of Wayne Hennessey to guard between the sticks.

Jeffrey Schlupp also starts and Joel Ward makes the back four ahead of Sam Woods with Martin Kelly dropping in for Jairo Riedewald. Up top, Alexander Sorloth joins Benteke in place of Connor Wickham.
