No Fern :(

No Ferni?? Oh no!! This might be a really tough game for us. He really provides box to box play.

Apparently fern is on bench

No Fern :(

Good decision for me, Palace's direct style would have bypassed him, Garcia's aerial ability will be much more useful.

I'd prefer Dinho next to Javi as Javi doesn't really have the recovery pace to play the sole defensive role imo.

Thought Dzeko for Jovetic is a bigger call , time will tell.

Fernandinho and Jovetic in would have been my preference.
