Palace striker Gayle still won't get start after 5 goals U21 win

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis says five-goal Dwight Gayle still won't make his starting XI against Aston Villa.

Gayle, who has been out with an ankle injury, was on target in a 6-0 U21 win against Brentford but Pulis says that will not influence his team selection tomorrow.

"I went to watch the game," said Pulis. "Dwight played well but it was a reserve game against Brentford, no disrespect to them. They had a lot of kids playing. Is it going to change it? Am I going to put Dwight in because of that one game? No, I don't think so."
