Team News: Christian Benteke returns for Aston Villa

Christian Benteke returns to Aston Villa's starting lineup for their match against Crystal Palace following his three-match suspension.

Paul Lambert has named Christian Benteke in Aston Villa's starting lineup for their match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the Premier League this evening.

The Belgian international has missed the last three matches through suspension, but comes in for midfielder Carlos Sanchez in the only change to the side that drew with Burnley at the weekend.

Meanwhile, Wilfried Zaha has been named in the home side's starting lineup following their 1-1 draw with Swansea City at the weekend.

The on-loan midfielder comes in for Jason Puncheon, who is named on the bench, while Joe Ledley misses out with a groin injury, resulting in James McArthur getting the nod.

Crystal Palace: Speroni, Kelly, Hangeland, Dann, Ward, Jedinak, McArthur, Bolasie, Zaha, Chamakh, Gayle
Subs: Hennessey, Fryers, Bannan, Thomas, Boateng, Puncheon, Campbell

Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Westwood, Cleverley, Cole, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke
Subs: Given, Herd, Richardson, Sanchez, N'Zogbia, Lowton, Grealish
