Crystal Palace
Palace also have a few concerns on the fitness front, as Chadi Riad (knee), Chris Richards (thigh) and Matheus Franca (groin) are all out of contention, and the visit of Spurs should also come too soon for toe victim Cheick Doucoure to return.
Ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Turner will at least be back in the squad after being unable to face parent club Forest, but the USA international should take his usual seat on the bench, even if Dean Henderson should have done better for Wood's winner.
Speaking of erstwhile Gunners, Eddie Nketiah - if he plays - will have a barren run to end on Sunday; the Palace number nine has gone nearly a year without finding the net in the Premier League since his hat-trick against Sheffield United in October 2023.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Lacroix, Chalobah, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Kamada, Nketiah, Eze
Tottenham
Spurs' ruthlessness against AZ suffered in the absence of captain Son Heung-min, who was rested in midweek due to being "a bit sore" following the win over West Ham, which came just after he had battled back from a previous hamstring issue.
Postecoglou has now confirmed that the 32-year-old should not be back for Sunday's game either, so a three-way battle for the left-wing spot should ensue between Timo Werner and two teenage talents in Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert.
Son joins Djed Spence (groin) as the visitors' only two missing players, and plenty of changes are afoot; James Maddison and Destiny Udogie are the only starters from midweek who should hold their places.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Odobert
Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
