Antonio Conte must count the cost of injuries galore and suspension problems as he names his Tottenham Hotspur side to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday.
The Spurs boss will be looking to turn around the club's fortunes after their 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa on New Year's Day saw them slip out of the top four and extend their run to 10 matches in a row of conceding first in all competitions. Patrick Vieira's Palace side will not be looking to offer any sympathy Conte's way on Wednesday evening.
Conte will still be missing Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison and Lucas Moura through injury while he said Dejan Kulusevski has a 50-50 chance of being involved after the slight muscle injury that kept him out of the Villa match. Spurs will also be missing Yves Bissouma after the summer signing picked up a fifth yellow card at the weekend to spark a one-match suspension.
