Team News: Big names return for Crystal Palace, Watford

Key players earn recalls to the starting lineups as Crystal Palace take on Watford in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Wembley.

Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo have been reinstated to the Watford starting lineup for this afternoon's FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.

The front pairing were rested for the 3-1 defeat at West Ham United during the week, but both will feature from the beginning at Wembley.

Ben Watson has also been recalled, but there is a change between the posts which has seen Heurelho Gomes drop out, with Costel Pantilimon continuing to keep goal in this competition.

Like the Hornets, there are also plenty of alterations in the Palace team from the one that lost 2-0 at Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

Scott Dann, Yannick Bolasie, Wayne Hennessey, Connor Wickham and Jason Puncheon have all returned, but Joe Ledley and Emmanuel Adebayor have to settle for places among the substitutes.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Puncheon, Cabaye, Jedinak, Zaha; Bolasie; Wickham
Subs: Speroni, Kelly, McArthur, Ledley, Sako, Gayle, Adebayor

Watford: Pantilimon; Nyom, Britos, Cathcart, Ake; Abdi, Capoue, Watson, Jurado; Deeney, Ighalo
Subs: Gomes, Prodl, Suarez, Behrami, Guedioura, Anya, Berghuis
