Crystal Palace name an unchanged lineup for their first match in the Ian Holloway era, while opponents Blackburn make four changes.

Crystal Palace have named an unchanged lineup for their first match since Ian Holloway decided to become manager.

Palace have opted to keep with the same 11 that produced a shock 2-1 victory away at Leicester City last week, meaning that the in-demand Wilfred Zaha starts.

Blackburn Rovers, meanwhile, have made four changes to their starting XI, including a return for captain Danny Murphy.

Martin Olsson, Markus Olsson and Adam Henley also come in as Gael Givet and Jason Lowe are ruled out with injuries.

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Ward, Ramage, Delaney, Parr; Jedinak, Dikgacoi; Bolasie, Garvan, Zaha; Murray

Blackburn: Robinson; Hanley, Dann, Hanley, Martin Olsson; Pedersen, Etuhu, Murphy, Markus Olsson; Kazim-Richards, Rhodes
