Latest Tottenham vs Crystal Palace team information
The midweek win over Bodo/Glimt was marred by Brennan Johnson having to leave midway through the second half with a minor injury. However, the injury is not serious and he is likely to be rested.
James Maddison has joined Lucas Bergvall (ankle) and Radu Dragusin (knee) in the “out for the season” squad after picking up knee injuries in the first leg of the semi-final. Son Heung-min’s return remains a doubt, but Postecoglou is “half-hopeful” he will be fit in time.
Son has scored nine goals against Palace – his second-favourite Premier League opponent after Southampton (11). If Son does not play, Mathys Tel and Mikey Moore are the options.
For Palace, Adam Wharton suffered an ankle injury in the draw with Forest and will miss the weekend, although manager Glasner hopes he can return in time for the FA Cup final.
Wharton will join Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure (both knee injuries) on the sidelines. Will Hughes or Jefferson Lerma will partner Daichi Kamada – who has become increasingly prominent in Palace’s starting line-up.

Latest football commentary on Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
A determined man once said he always won the title in his second year – a claim that was once met with scepticism and ridicule. But Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is now just 90 minutes away from doing so in Europe’s second tier.
Having weathered a freezing Arctic storm against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, Spurs held their nerve and cruised to a 5-1 aggregate victory in the semi-finals, setting up a Europa League final against Manchester United – another struggling English side.
With all eyes on Bilbao, the remaining Premier League games are a mere formality for Tottenham, who are currently 16th. The goal is simple: not to drop to 17th.
Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with West Ham last weekend extended their winless run in the Premier League to four games. In their last nine league games, they have won just one – against relegated Southampton.
Spurs have failed to beat cross-city rivals West Ham, Fulham and Chelsea this season, and have only managed 11 points from 11 London derbies this season – the lowest tally among the capital's clubs.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace still have a very slim hope of reaching the top 8 of the Premier League - the door leading to a place in the Europa Conference League next season. However, with 7 points behind Bournemouth and only 3 games left, the most realistic chance for coach Oliver Glasner and his team is to win a European ticket through the FA Cup final against Man City at Wembley in the next two weeks.
Therefore, the trip to Tottenham is the last chance for Palace to regain the spirit they have lost in the past few weeks. After a series of 5 consecutive wins from February 22 to March 29, Palace have won only 2 of their last 8 matches.
Monday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest was Palace's fifth consecutive Premier League winless game, but they need just one more win to equal their record 49 points in the league - their highest tally in Premier League history.
History is not on Palace's side when they travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where they have lost their last nine. However, a 1-0 win in October, inspired by Mateta, gives them the chance to make history by winning both legs of their last two league games against Spurs in the same season for the first time.
