Bristol City manager Gary Johnson could make changes, but he is unable to call upon forward Evander Sno (back) and midfielder Marvin Elliott (knee).
Brian Wilson, Jamie McCombe and Jamie McAllister also continue to struggle with their respective injury problems.
MATCH PREVIEW
Bristol City's hugely controversial home win against Palace in August means they could now complete a league double over the Eagles for the first time in 55 years.
Palace's trip to Ashton Gate ended in acrimony after they were infamously denied a perfectly good goal when Freddie Sears' effort bounced out from the back of the net.
They will be looking to avenge that defeat and continue their momentum having beaten Sheffield United on Saturday in Paul Hart's first match as Eagles boss. It was Palace's first win in seven games.
Hart's side are only above the relegation zone on goal difference but can take encouragement from that victory, while City will be looking to atone for a dismal 5-2 defeat at home to Doncaster and are yet to win away against a bottom-half team this season.
