Crystal Palace fans will be relieved to see Wilfried Zaha back in their starting line-up but there is plenty of work to be done in the relegation scrap and their trip to Huddersfield may generate just a single point.

There has been a huge market reaction to Zaha's return with the Eagles set to go off favourites against a Huddersfield side who have lost just once at home to teams from outside the top six.

Huddersfield play a compact, high-tempo style at home and get tremendous support from the stands.

It won't be easy for Palace, who may be happy to take a draw.
