Yannick Bolasie: Linked with West Ham and Everton

Yannick Bolasie: Subject of Everton bids

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in five games against Stoke City going into the penultimate Premier League game of the season at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Team news

Wilfried Zaha will miss out for Crystal Palace due to a leg muscle problem and is a doubt for the FA Cup final against Manchester United on May 21.

The Eagles also have concerns over Yannick Bolasie, who is battling illness, and Mile Jedinak, who is struggling with a knock, according to manager Alan Pardew.

Stoke forward Bojan faces a late fitness test after banging his foot in training on Thursday, but Marko Arnautovic should be fit to continue despite an ongoing thigh problem.

Glen Johnson has this week returned to training following a knee injury but will not feature, though he could be involved against West Ham next weekend. Marc Wilson, however, has been ruled out of the last two games with his knee injury.
