Alan Cubishley has selected a team with five changes from the one that was humiliated by Reading last week.
Last season Alan Pardew fielded an under strength team against a Portsmouth side in desperate need of points, it is ironic that the points earned from their victory helped keep them in the Premiership.
Alan Pardew and Gareth Southgate both played for Palace and both would have relished the opportunity to go out and 'strut their stuff', however, as managers both have had a hard time of it recently, it was always going to be a tight match.
ESPN.com Soccernet Manager Profile - Alan Curbishley (695 words)
Curbishley would help the Addicks reach the top flight for the first time in 29 years before he was sold to Brighton & Hove Albion for £30,000 in 1987.
Curbishley was determined to earn promotion at the first time, and it was achieved in style as the Addicks smashed a club record by winning 12 consecutive games on their way to the title.
Curbishley always seems to be linked with a move to a bigger club, and his name was mentioned in conjunction with the vacant jobs at former clubs West Ham United in the summer of 2001 and then Aston Villa when John Gregory had walked.
