Confirmed Crystal Palace side vs Hartlepool as Patrick Vieira makes Will Hughes decision

Patrick Vieria has made four changes to his Crystal Palace starting XI for today's FA Cup fourth-round clash against Hartlepool United.

The Eagles will entertain Graeme Lee's League Two side in front of a packed out Selhurst Park and have gone with a strong lineup for the tie.

In goal, Jack Butland continues in place of Jack Guaita after starting in the last round against Millwall. He made an error in that game to gift the Lions the lead but made amends a week later with a penalty save against Brighton.

Joachim Andersen misses the game at centre-back, with Marc Guehi partnering Martin Kelly at the heart of the defence.

Joel Ward returns at right-back while Tyrick Mitchell, who has recently been nominated for a London Football Award, starts once again at left full-back.

Vieira has changed up his usual midfield trio for today's game, dropping Will Hughes in favour of captain Luka Milivojevic. The Serbian will start in the holding midfield role with Jeffrey Schlupp and Conor Gallagher starting ahead of him to complete the three.

In the front line, Ebere Eze and Michael Olise both start together as they did against Millwall and Brighton. They will both play on the wing either side of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who signed a four-and-a-half-year permanent contract with Palace on transfer deadline day.

On the bench, Vieria has named Under-23s winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi as well as Tayo Adaramola and Joachim Andersen.

Butland, Ward, Kelly, Guehi, Mitchell, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Gallagher, Eze, Mateta, Olise.

Guaita, Andersen, Clyne, Adaramola, Hughes, Ayew, Rak-Sakyi, Edouard, Benteke.
