Team news: Zaha starts as Hodgson tweaks lineup v West Brom

Roy Hodgson has made just one change to Crystal Palace's starting XI against West Bromwich Albion, starting Wilfried Zaha in place of Andros Townsend.

First Team

Zaha played 45 minutes in the recent clash with Tottenham Hotspur and is available from kick-off again after a short spell returning to fitness.

Townsend is named in the bench, where Jeffrey Schlupp and Connor Wickham retain their places alongside 20-year-old Reece Hannam, who recently signed a contract extension with the club.

Zaha, along with frontman Christian Benteke, will be hoping for a similarly successful meeting with the Baggies after each netting a brace against them in December 2020.
