Tottenham Hotspur will be without at least six players for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace in North London.

Rodrigo Bentancur will serve the third and final game of his three-match suspension, while Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Destiny Udogie (all knee), Savio (muscle) and Mykhaylo Mudryk (ankle) remain sidelined with injuries.

There is concern over the fitness of James Maddison once again after he came off with groin discomfort in the 2-0 victory at Chelsea last weekend, while Tosin Adarabioyo (calf) and Lucas Bergvall (knee) will also need assessing ahead of kickoff.

In the potential absence of Maddison, head coach Roberto De Zerbi will consider handing ex-Palace loanee Conor Gallagher a start in centre-midfield alongside Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, who both excelled in the win at Chelsea.

Dominic Solanke will push Omar Marmoush for a start up front, while Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus are the most likely duo to operate out wide. Dejan Kulusevski is another wide option but is set to begin as a substitute once again.

Pedro Porro is fit to start at right-back and could come in for Archie Gray, while Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven and Andrew Robertson are all poised to retain their starting spots in defence.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Kinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Gallagher, Fernandes, Tonali; Kudus, Marmoush, Tel
