Team news

Crystal Palace have no fresh injury problems arising from their FA Cup semi-final win over Aston Villa last weekend.

Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad are both dealing with long-term knee injuries, while on-loan back-up goalkeeper Matt Turner is ineligible to face his parent club.

Nottingham Forest are monitoring Callum Hudson-Odoi, who came off with a hamstring issue during Thursday's league defeat by Brentford.

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo said in his pre-match press conference that last weekend's FA Cup semi-final defeat had taken a lot out of his players and that he would need to manage his squad carefully.
