Tottenham XI vs Crystal Palace: Moore starts - Confirmed lineup, team news, Son injury latest for Premier League

Tottenham have handed young start Mikey Moore a first ever Premier League with captain Heung-min Son ruled out through injury.

Son, who has not trained this week, was described on Friday as "unlikely" to return to the starting XI against Crystal Palace today, and does miss out.

Moore was outstanding in the second half against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday and Postecoglou says he is ready to start "any game".

Richarlison, who returned to the lineup for the first time since late August against the Dutch side and scored the winner from the penalty spot, is on the bench while Wilson Odobert made his comeback from injury as a late substitute but also skips the game.

The only other major decision for Postecoglou was whether to keep James Maddison in the XI after the half-time introduction of Pape Matar Sarr for the England international helped to transform last weekend's win over West Ham.

The rest of Postecoglou's team picked itself, although there has been little to choose between Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma in midfield this season. Bentancur started against AZ Alkmaar, meaning a return to the XI for the Malian on Sunday.

Tottenham hope that full-back Djed Spence will return to full training following a groin strain next week.
