The only minor setback for Crystal Palace during their semi-final last weekend was Tyrick Mitchell sustaining a knock in the final moments, but the team's first-choice left-back has recovered without serious injury and is ready to start on Monday.


Consequently, Glasner's only ongoing fitness concerns remain the knee injuries to Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure, while on-loan goalkeeper Matt Turner is ineligible to face his parent club and would not have replaced Dean Henderson anyway.


With a full five days to rest before Monday's match and their subsequent trip to Tottenham Hotspur on May 11, Glasner has every reason to field a full-strength team, and key player Eze needs just one more goal to reach 10 goals and 10 assists for the season across all competitions.


For Nottingham Forest, an injury compounded their defeat on Thursday night when Callum Hudson-Odoi suffered a suspected hamstring issue, which will likely keep him out of the upcoming away game.


However, manager Santo has several options to replace the former Chelsea player; Nicolas Dominguez started the second half against Brentford, but Ramon Sosa and Jota Silva are viable alternatives in attack.


Eric da Silva Moreira (ankle) is Forest's only other injury worry, and their star striker Chris Wood could make history as the first Tricky Trees player to score 10 Premier League goals away from home in a single season.



Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:

Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Eze, Sarr; Mateta


Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:

Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Toffolo; Sangare, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Dominguez; Wood
