Team news: Sakho makes squad for Villa clash
Roy Hodgson has named his starting lineup to face Aston Villa this afternoon, fielding the exact same XI which kicked-off in the Eagles' historic victory against Manchester United.
Mamadou Sakho has made the bench, having spent summer and a large part of last season recovering from injury. Sakho managed to play in pre-season for Palace against Bristol City and AFC Wimbledon but hasn't featured in a Premier League game since leaving the field of play against Leicester City in February of this year.
