5. Nathaniel Clyne
Following an injury-plagued spell with Liverpool, Clyne returned to Palace last summer in order to get his career back on track. He has managed that to some degree with 13 appearances to his name this term. Photo: Pool
Brady was signed and played under Bruce at Hull City before joining Norwich City and then on to current club Burnley. The left-footed winger has struggled for form this campaign, which may suggest his time at Turf Moor is up. Photo: Clive Brunskill

The former England international has shown glimpses of his previous self at Brighton and Hove Albion this season, which will likely be enough to earn him a new deal on the south coast if he continues to stay fit. Photo: Mike Hewitt
