Michy Batshuayi eyeing Crystal Palace debut against Fulham

Michy Batshuayi goes straight into contention to feature for Crystal Palace against Fulham after his arrival on loan from Chelsea.

His potential availability strengthens Palace’s attacking options, with the influential Wilfried Zaha suspended after his red card at Southampton.

Cheikhou Kouyate misses out with an ankle injury, but James Tomkins is expected to be passed fit following a knock.

Joe Bryan is a doubt for Fulham.

The full-back limped off during Tuesday’s 4-2 victory over Brighton and may force manager Claudio Ranieri to change a winning team.

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa is in contention to return, having returned to training following injury, while Aboubakar Kamara has left on loan for Turkish club Yeni Malatyaspor.
