Team news: Hodgson makes two changes and hands Premier League substitute debut to youngster

Roy Hodgson has named two changes from the side that started against Cardiff City last Sunday for his Crystal Palace lineup to face AFC Bournemouth today.

He has brought in Max Meyer and Patrick van Aanholt in place of Jordan Ayew and the injured Scott Dann.

With further injuries to Mamadou Sakho, Jeffrey Schlupp, James Tomkins and Sam Woods, Hodgson has lined up with a back four of Van Aanholt, Joel Ward, Martin Kelly and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

He seems to be playing a 4-4-2 with Wilfried Zaha and Michy Batshuayi up top as Meyer moves into midfield at the expense of Ayew, who isn't on the bench.
