Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that he has plenty of options to choose from for Sunday's match against Chelsea.
Wayne Hennessey and Martin Kelly missed the goalless draw with Cardiff City on Boxing Day but both players are available for the London derby, which Palace are 17/4 to win.
Hodgson said: "We don't have any injuries to speak of. We're fortunate that those who were injured, Sullay Kaikai, Martin Kelly and Wayne Hennessey, are back in training and available so we have a big squad to choose from.
"Wayne has trained after missing Wednesday's game so I'll have a selection headache because I'll have to choose between him and Vicente [Guaita].
"Christian Benteke is still absent because he's continuing his recovery. He's making good strides but is not available."
Palace won the corresponding fixture last season 2-1 and are 16/1 to repeat that scoreline at Selhurst Park this weekend.
Last term the Eagles had lost their first seven top-flight fixtures of the campaign, with Hodgson adding: "It was very, very important because it was the eighth game and we'd had seven straight losses. Strangely enough, in the three losses that followed the initial four losses when I came into the club, we still felt that we were making some progress.
"We thought we were on the right track and then against Chelsea a little bit of fortune came our way. We're in the Premier League to play the Chelseas of this world and we've got to believe in ourselves."
