Stern John could make his first appearance for Crystal Palace since November against Scunthorpe United today.

The striker, signed on a free transfer from Southampton in the summer, has spent the last two months on loan at Ipswich Town but returned to Palace earlier this week.

He was cup-tied for the FA Cup win over Wolves on Tuesday but is set to be on the bench at Glanford Park.

Lee Hills and Kieron Cadogan were also cup-tied and will return to the squad, with manager Neil Warnock having to decide whether to stick with Matt Lawrence at centre-back or recall Hills at left-back and put Clint Hill in alongside Claude Davis.

Johnny Ertl could also return having missed the last two games with a hamstring strain.

The Eagles will be desperate to avenge September's 4-0 drubbing at home to Scunthorpe, a result that almost saw Warnock walk away from the club.
