Harry Kane could be set to join Yves Bissouma in missing a Tottenham game through suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards. The Mali international picked up his fifth caution of the season in the defeat to Aston Villa and will therefore miss the clash against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening.
The injury absence of Rodrigo Bentancur will likely mean a recall to the starting XI for Oliver Skipp, who would then partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield. However, Antonio Conte could choose to give Pape Matar Sarr his first Premier League start for Spurs after bringing on the Senegalese midfielder with 10 minutes to go on New Year's Day.
The midfield dilemma is not the only problem Conte is faced with though, as his star striker Kane is on four yellow cards and a booking against Palace would see him suspended for Tottenham's next league fixture, which just happens to be one of the most anticipated games of the season.
