(Reuters) - Michy Batshuayi could make his first Crystal Palace start in Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round clash at Doncaster Rovers but manager Roy Hodgson has ruled out wholesale changes against the League One outfit.

Batshuayi, who has come off the bench twice since joining on loan from Chelsea following a spell with Valencia in Spain, could add a new dimension to the Palace attack with his explosive pace and work rate.
