Team news & rosters
| Position | Tottenham roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Lloris, Gollini, Austin |
| Defenders | Doherty, Reguilon, Romero, Sanchez, Emerson, Rodon, Dier, Tanganga, Davies, Walcott, Paskotsi, Omole, Cesay, Lyons-Foster |
| Midfielders | Hojbjerg, Winks, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Alli, Ndombele, Skipp, John, Clarke, Matthew Craig, Michael Craig, Markanday, Mundle |
Forwards | Son, Kane, Gil, Bergwijn, Moura, White, Scarlett |
Having beaten off an in-form West Ham to go within one win of another cup final, Spurs could finally be turning the corner in their quest to end their trophy drought.
Antonio Conte, however, is likely to revert to a variation on his 3-4-3 tactics for the visit of his side's cross-city rivals, meaning Sergio Reguilon could well feature wide on the left while Lucas Moura links up at the top with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
Predicted Tottenham starting XI: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Moura, Kane, Son
| Position | Crystal Palace roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Butland, Guaita, Matthews |
| Defenders | Ward, Mitchell, Tomkins, Guehi, Andersen, Clyne, Kelly, Ferguson, Hannam |
| Midfielders | Milivojevic, Olise, Kouyate, Eze, Hughes, Schlupp, McArthur, Gallagher, Banks, Riedewald, Rak-Sakyi |
| Forwards | Ayew, Zaha, Mateta, Benteke, Edouard, Street |
Having fallen victim to the latest wave of Covid-19 cancellations like many of their rivals, Patrick Vieira's side will have had an enforced rest of close to two weeks by the time they take to the field.
Jack Butland could well keep his spot in goal, but it will be the fearsome front three of Jordan Ayew, Odsonne Edouard and Wilfried Zaha that could hand the visitors a surprise edge.
Predicted Crystal Palace starting XI: Butland; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Gallagher, Gallagher, Hughes, Kouyate; Ayew, Edouard, Zaha.
