Crystal Palace will welcome Wilfried Zaha back to their squad for the trip to Manchester United.

Zaha missed Palace’s last game with Tottenham before the international break due to a hamstring injury but has now recovered, as has James Tomkins (knee).

Mamadou Sakho has shaken off a knock he picked up on international duty, but Christian Benteke, Connor Wickham, Joel Ward and Scott Dann are all out.

Provisional Squad: Hennessey, Van Aanholt, Tomkins, Sakho, Wan-Bissaka, Milivojevic, Meyer, Kouyate, Townsend, McArthur, Zaha, Guaita, Schlupp, Kelly, Puncheon, Riedewald, Sorloth, Ayew.

Paul Pogba is set to return to action for United at Old Trafford.

The midfielder has recovered from the injury that ruled him out of the 3-1 loss at Manchester City on November 11, and Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini are also all ready to be involved after question marks over whether they would be fit.

Luke Shaw serves a one-game suspension having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the contest at the Etihad Stadium.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Lindelof, Bailly, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Young, Dalot, Valencia, Darmian, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Pereira, Fred, Herrera, Fellaini, Matic, McTominay, Sanchez, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial.
