-------------------------------
Crystal Palace
While Tyrick Mitchell did come off in their last outing, he has not picked up any serious injury and is expected to be fully fit for this fixture. Meanwhile, the home team will be without the services of Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure, who are both out injured with knee issues.
Oliver Glasner will stick to the 3-4-2-1 formation, where Dean Henderson will be in goal. The back three will be made up of Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi. The trio will look to keep things tight at the back and they will receive significant support from Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell, who will be the wing-backs.
In the centre of the park, Adam Wharton will pair up with Daichi Kamada. The duo will look to control the tempo of the game and ensure they dominate the ball. Eberechi Eze and Ismaïla Sarr will feature as the two attacking midfielders behind Jean-Philippe Mateta, who will lead the line for Crystal Palace against Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest
Callum Hudson-Odoi picked up a hamstring injury in their defeat against Brentford and will certainly miss this fixture. Apart from him, Eric da Silva Moreira is also out with an ankle injury.
Nuno Espirito Santo could stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation, where Matz Sels will be in goal. Neco Williams and Harry Toffolo will be the full-backs for the visitors. Meanwhile, Nikola Milenkovic will start alongside Murillo in the heart of the defence.
As for the midfield unit, Ibrahim Sangare and Elliot Anderson will form the double pivot in the middle of the park. The duo will look to shield the backline and ensure they control the tempo of the game.
Anthony Elanga and Nicolás Dominguez will feature on the flanks providing much-needed width to their attacks. Morgan Gibbs-White will continue in the number ten role, with Chris Wood spearhead the Nottingham Forest attack against Crystal Palace.
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
Prediction: Crystal Palace 3-1 Nottingham Forest
With Forest's backline increasingly permeable, Santo hinting at changes in his pre-game press conference and the visitors only working with a few days' rest, the Garibaldi's plight will surely continue on Monday.
The manner of Palace's annihilation of Villa was nothing short of magnificent, and even though the magnitude of the occasion on Monday may not be so great, the FA Cup finalists should carry that momentum forward and finally beat Forest in a Premier League match at the 10th time of asking.
