Latest Crystal Palace vs Nottingham team information
Crystal Palace have little to no concerns after the semi-final, apart from a minor injury to Tyrick Mitchell late in the game, but their first-choice left-back is fit and ready to start.
Palace's only injuries remain Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure (knee). Goalkeeper Matt Turner – on loan from Forest – is not available, but Dean Henderson is the obvious first choice.
With five days off before the match against Tottenham on May 11, coach Glasner can field his strongest squad. Star Eberechi Eze is now just one goal away from completing a 10-goal, 10-assist double this season.
On Forest's side, Callum Hudson-Odoi suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to Brentford and will almost certainly be absent.
Nuno Santo has plenty of alternatives, such as Nicolas Dominguez – who played the second half last time – or Ramon Sosa and Jota Silva in attack.
Eric da Silva Moreira (ankle) is the other casualty, while Chris Wood has the chance to become the first Forest player to score 10 away goals in a Premier League season.
Latest predicted lineup for Crystal Palace vs Nottingham

Nottingham Forest:
Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Toffolo; Sangare, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Dominguez; Wood
Latest Crystal Palace vs Nottingham football review
Ten years after their comprehensive defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup final, Aston Villa were swept aside again – this time by a Crystal Palace side led by Oliver Glasner in the semi-finals. With a deserved 3-0 win, the Eagles cruised into the final under the Wembley dome.
Two goals from Ismaila Sarr and a superb goal from Eberechi Eze made Palace fans burst into joy. With the Premier League having almost no goals left, fans have every reason to dream about winning the FA Cup.
The win over Aston Villa also ended Palace's four-game winless run – they have picked up just two points from their last four games, leaving them bottom of the table.
However, a 0-0 draw against 10-man Bournemouth was a rare bright spot in that run, extending a five-game unbeaten run at Selhurst Park in all competitions. It was also their second clean sheet in their last three home games.
Palace’s good defensive record at home is in stark contrast to the form of their defence in April, which saw them concede 14 Premier League goals – equalling an unwanted record set in December 2020.
However, Palace should not take this opponent as a model for defense. Nottingham Forest were once famous for their tight playing style but have lost their identity and with it the chance to qualify for the Champions League has gradually slipped away.
Following their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Man City, Forest lost to Brentford in midweek – Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa finishing them off at the City Ground.
The Champions League dream is no longer up to Forest, with Chelsea ahead thanks to a better goal difference. However, qualifying for any European tournament next season would be a success beyond expectations for Nuno Santo and his team.
With nine away wins this season – only bettered by Liverpool – Forest remain one of the best teams on the road. However, they have also lost four of their last six away games, conceding 16 goals in the process.
The worrying thing for Palace is that Forest are their “nemesis”. The Eagles have never beaten this opponent in all nine Premier League matches. Conversely, Forest have never been unbeaten against another opponent for that many matches, and Palace have never lost to any team for 9 consecutive matches.
