Experienced centre-back Scott Dann has returned to the Crystal Palace starting XI for their Premier League clash with Watford at Selhurst Park.

Dann for Mamadou Sakho is the only change from the Palace team that started Saturday's 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.

As a result, Christian Benteke, despite ignoring orders not to take a late penalty against the Cherries, leads the line with support from Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend.

As for Watford, head coach Marco Silva has made two changes to the team that started Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Burnley.

Marvin Zeegelaar misses out through suspension and is replaced by Jose Holebas, while Sebastian Prodl comes in for Roberto Pereyra as the Hornets revert to a three-man defence.

Richarlison and Andre Carrillo will again support club captain Troy Deeney in the final third of the field.
