Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

A London derby takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Boxing Day with Crystal Palace set to pay a visit to their capital counterparts.

Antonio Conte's men have recovered from a COVID-19 outbreak to draw 2-2 with Liverpool and beat West Ham United 2-1 in the EFL Cup quarter-finals over the past week.

The Lilywhites are set to begin the day seventh in the Premier League table, but they are only six points behind fourth-placed Arsenal having played three games fewer.

Bryan Gil is believed to have been one of the Spurs players affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and was nowhere to be seen against West Ham, making him a doubt for this battle.

As is the case with Gil, Dane Scarlett is reported to have tested positive for coronavirus and may not be available here, but he would be unlikely to earn many minutes anyway.

Tottenham have no players suspended for this match.
