Match Preview
Eagles ready to soar Crystal Palace have a virtually fully-fit squad ahead of the visit of Doncaster. Full-back Dean Moxey is fit after a knee injury so Welsh midfielder Jonathan Williams is the only absentee as he recovers with the broken leg he suffered at Cardiff in November. Striker Glenn Murray could be restored to the starting line-up after he was an unused substitute during the goalless draw at Middlesbrough last weekend. Winger Sean Scannell will also be pushing for a start after climbing off the bench for the final 10 minutes at the Riverside Stadium. The Eagles have yet to register a win in the league since beating Millwall on New Year's Eve and are currently 14th in the npower Championship table. Doncaster have no new injury problems as the fitness crisis begins to ease for boss Dean Saunders. Since his appointment at Rovers in September a heavily attended treatment room has been a feature of Saunders' reign, but long-term injury victims Martin Woods and John Oster are among a host of players who have returned to full training during the past month. James Coppinger suffered a broken cheekbone in the defeat at Bristol City a fortnight ago and the winger is sidelined alongside veteran goalkeeper Neil Sullivan (thumb) and George Friend (knee). Friend's fellow defender Habib Beye will begin a three-match ban following his red card at Ashton Gate, but the Rovers backline is boosted by the return of Pascal Chimbonda from hip flexor and thigh problems. Doncaster's home clash with Hull was postponed last weekend due to a frozen pitch and they lie five points from safety in the Championship relegation zone.
