Team News: Wayne Hennessey starts just his third game of the season for Crystal Palace

Wayne Hennessey starts just his third game of the campaign for Crystal Palace, while Swansea City boss Garry Monk rotates his squad for their season finale.

Wayne Hennessey makes just his third start for Crystal Palace this season as they face Swansea City at Selhurst Park.

One of the Welsh goalkeeper's previous two starts came in last weekend's win over Liverpool. Regular starter Julian Speroni is being kept fit for his upcoming testimonial.

Alan Pardew has a fully-fit squad available to him, and Brede Hangeland, Wilfried Zaha and James McArthur all start.

Garry Monk has opted for a rotated squad as he assess his players ahead of next season. Leon Britton starts, while Jay Fulton and Modou Barrow warm the bench. Ki Sung-yueng is unavailable after recovering from minor knee surgery.

Palace have not beaten Swansea in seven matches since a 3-1 Championship away win in March 2009.

There is a cause for celebration for both clubs as they have smashed pre-season expectations. Palace need a point to set a new Premier League club record over a 38-game season, while Swansea have set a new club points record in the Premier League with their current total of 56.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Dann, Hangeland, Souaré, Puncheon, Jedinak, McArthur, Zaha, Chamakh, Bolasie,
Subs: Speroni, Campbell, Murray, Mutch, Lee Chung-Yong, Delaney, Kelly

Swansea City:Fabianski, Richards, Fernandez, Bartley, Naughton, Cork, Britton, Dyer, Emnes, Montero, Gomis
