... winger Yannick Bolasie could feature after playing for DR Congo in the African Cup of Nations.

Chamakh suffered a broken nose recently and had to miss the win over Leicester City on Saturday, where Joe Ledley’s goal was the difference at the King Power Stadium.

Crystal Palace’s Jordon Mutch did well on tough debut, but his lack of action was evident

The Welsh international’s goal made it three wins from Palace’s last four league games, but Chamakh has not been around to witness the good form the Eagles have displayed.

The Moroccan striker has missed seven of the last eight league games for Pardew’s troops, but he could return when the South London side play host to the manager’s former team, Newcastle United on Wednesday.

The former Charlton and West Ham boss is also hopeful to have exciting winger Bolasie back in action, after the African Cup of Nations was concluded on Sunday night with Ivory Coast coming out victorious in the final.

Bolosie, along with the Congo DR national side, finished third after beating Equatorial Guinea in the play-off contest for third place.
