Former Palace striker and club legend Dougie Freedman is currently in charge of Selhurst Park outfit and he will be hoping his side’s luck changes at Deepdale on Tuesday night.
Palace have lost their opening three Championship fixtures and consequently sit bottom of the table, but still in August there is plenty of time for their luck to turn around.
In the past few days, the Londoners have recruited three new players, Cardiff defender Darcy Blake, Bristol City winger Yannick Bolasie and unattached midfielder Andre Moritz.
However, the trio couldn’t prevent Freedman’s men losing 2-1 at Play-Off hopefuls Middlesbrough at the weekend.
In the previous round, Palace overcame Exeter City by two goals to one to set up a second round date against Graham Westley’s men.
The squad in the away dressing room on Tuesday night is as follows:
