Romeo Lavia will be assessed having been absent since the 2-0 opening weekend defeat to Manchester City but Reece James is out until after the international break. Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell are expected to leave before the transfer window closes. Pedro Neto may make his first league start following his arrival from Wolves.
Centre-back Chadi Riad joins Matheus Franca on the sidelines, though the duo are Crystal Palace's only injury concerns. Palace have managed to retain Marc Guehi's services this summer, which is a boost, and have signed Maxence Lacroix to bolster the ranks at the back following the departure of Joachim Andersen.
