Crystal Palace v Bristol City

Crystal Palace v Bristol City May 09 2008

Victor Moses is expected to be fit for the first leg of Crystal Palace's play-off semi-final against Bristol City.

Moses, who has played a key role in Palace's end-of-season surge into the top six, came off after just 30 minutes of Saturday's 5-0 win over Burnley.

But the teenage winger's thigh problem is not serious and he is in line to start at Selhurst Park.

Striker James Scowcroft was an unused substitute against the Clarets following his hamstring injury and has another week of training under his belt.

Defender Matt Lawrence recently underwent hernia surgery with a view to being fit for the play-offs, but with Danny Butterfield an able deputy at right-back he will not be risked unless he is 100 per cent.

Midfielder Neil Danns is still sidelined with a groin injury.

Bristol City manager Gary Johnson has a fully fit squad available.

Lee Johnson, who played the final 25 minutes of last Sunday's clash against Preston, has suffered no ill effects from his ankle injury and will battle it out with Nick Carle to face the Eagles.

Midfielder Marvin Elliott has also recovered after picking up a knock in the 3-0 win against North End.

However, boss Johnson is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding striker Steve Brooker and has chosen not to reveal whether he has overcome a hamstring problem.

Striker Lee Trundle is expected to continue in attack alongside Dele Adebola after impressing of late.
