Team News: Troy Deeney returns for Watford

Troy Deeney returns for Watford

Troy Deeney has returned to the Watford lineup for this afternoon's London derby at Crystal Palace.

The captain's comeback is one of four changes from Quique Flores after last weekend's loss at Tottenham Hotspur, with Deeney partnering Nordin Amrabat behind Odion Ighalo in place of Jose Jurado and Almen Abdi.

Sebastian Prodl is in at the back for Miguel Britos while the other change is in midfield, where Valon Behrami replaces Mario Suarez.

For the hosting Palace, Alan Pardew makes just one change from the side that took a point at Swansea City last Saturday, with Connor Wickham coming in for Lee Chung-yong as partner for Emmanuel Adebayor in a two-man attack.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Zaha, Jedinak, Cabaye, Mutch; Wickham, Adebayor Subs: Speroni, Mariappa, Kelly, Boateng, Lee, Chamakh, Campbell

Watford: Gomes; Nyom, Prödl, Cathcart, Ake; Behrami, Watson, Capoue; Amrabat, Deeney; Ighalo Subs: Pantilimon, Paredes, Holebas, Suarez, Guedioura, Anya, Abdi
