Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew will give Eagles captain Mile Jedinak his first Premier League start of season after naming him in his team to face Everton on Monday night.

The Australian is back in the Palace starting XI for the trip to Goodison Park, and is the only change to the Eagles team that thrashed Newcastle United 5-1 in late November.

Wilfried Zaha, though, will not feature for the Premier League game through suspension, with Pardew likely to push James McArthur further forward while Jason Puncheon plays out wide.

Roberto Martinez, meanwhile, has made two changes to his Everton side that knocked Middlesbrough out of the League Cup in midweek, with Tim Howard making his return in goal and Arouna Kone replacing Leon Osman.

Midfielder James McCarthy is missing from action with a hip injury while Leighton Baines is on the bench following his recovery from ankly surgery.

Everton starting XI: Howard, Coleman, Funes Mori, Stones, Galloway, Barry, Cleverley, Deulofeou, Barkley, Kone, Lukaku.

Crystal Palace starting XI: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Jedinak (c), Cabaye; Puncheon, McArthur, Bolasie; Wickham.
