Big Tom will miss three games so who takes his starting spot? After the red card Fernandes dropped back alongside Ward-Prowse but after the 2nd goal went in he was replaced by Magassa with Irving replacing Ward-Prowse towards then end of the match. Freddie Potts played for the U21s on Tuesday so might get a recall to the bench and there's always Guido Rodriguez.
Whoever starts this is going to be a tough game
Palace are on a 16 games unbeaten run, their last loss was away at St james' Park on 16th April. They've qualified for the Conference League which will be the first time they will have played in Europe after August as previously they failed to get past the qualifying rounds. They've not scored many in the league, just 4 goals, but they are top for fewest goals conceded, just one against Forest
The only major change to the squad from last season is Eze joining Arsenal, otherwise Glasner's starting XI hasn't changed much and is pretty settled. Eight players have started four EPL matches and the Community Shield with two more - Ismaila Sarr and Adam Wharton – only missing the Sunderland match due to injury.
Japanese AM Daichi Kamada has slotted into Eze's spot but Sarr's injury gave an opportunity for new arrival 22yo Spanish RW Yeremy Pino (Villareal £26m) to start against Sunderland. Another option is 21yo Academy graduate Justin Devenny who started against Forest
Wharton's was replaced by Jefferson Lerma although Glasner said Wharton could be back for the weekend along with Eddie Nketiah who's been out for 6 weeks with a hamstring
Other new arrivals 27yo Croatian LB Borna Sosa (Ajax £3m), Nigerian CF Christantus Uche (Getfe loan), GK Walter Benítez (PSV free) and 19yo French CB Jaydee Canvot (£23m Toulouse) have so far only had a few appearances off the bench or starts in League Cup and Conference League qualifying round
