Wilfried Zaha remains ruled out with a hamstring injury, depriving Palace of their most potent goal threat. Given the attacking problems, it would not be a surprise to see Vieira make changes to the team who lost to Manchester United, with Eberechi Eze, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Naouirou Ahamada all available.
James McArthur will finally return to the squad in a major boost for Vieira.
Brighton, meanwhile, could welcome Alexis Mac Allister back after his suspension. Adam Lallana and Evan Ferguson are both in contention too, while new signing Facundo Buonanotte may also feature.
