Tickets: £16-£20 (£11 concs). Tel. 01923 496 010
Fact: John Salako, Gareth Southgate and Paul Williams were the scorers when Palace last won at Vicarage Road, 3-1 in November 1993

Smith is also lifted by the return of another midfielder Hayden Mullins after suspension.
Verdict: PALACE PLUNDER A POINT
