Harrison - The mullet is back

Craig Harrison looks set to return to the Crystal Palace line-up as Steve Staunton has been recalled by Liverpool. The Eagles take on Stockport County at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

Steve Staunton's loan was terminated by Liverpool last Wednesday as he was added to the squad who traveled to Greece to entertain Olympiakos.

Alan Smith however is keen on re-signing the Irish international on a permanent basis but it is not likely that this will be completed in time for the game against Stockport.

Andrejs Rubins will not be available after breaking his ankle while on international duty last week. He is out for about three months.

Mikael Forssell and Dougie Freedman are doubts. Forssell has been suffering from a virus and Freedman might not be fully recovered after picking up a knock against Tranmere Rovers last week.

Julian Gray looks set to start again like he did last week in the 3-2 win against Tranmere.

Possible Palace line-up: Kolinko. Austin, Zhiyi, Mullins, Rodger, Freedman, Morrison, Black, Gray, Pollock, and Harrison.
