Max Meyer is set to start for Crystal Palace in their Carabao Cup fixture against Middlesbrough on Wednesday evening.
The midfielder has struggled to assert himself in the Eagles' midfield since his summer move from Schalke, starting just one Premier League game this season, but will get a chance to stake his claim for a regular spot against Championship outfit Boro.
According to the Evening Standard, other Palace stars who are expected to come into the team include Jason Puncheon, Jairo Riedewald, Martin Kelly, Alexander Sorloth and Jordan Ayew.
The competition is not a priority for Palace manager Roy Hodgson, whose side have only won two of their opening ten Premier League fixtures and sit 14th in England's top flight.
