Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons will both miss Sunday's trip to Selhurst Park as they serve their respective suspensions.

Both Romero and Xavi were shown red cards last time out against Liverpool and now will be unavailable for selection when we visit Crystal Palace this weekend.

Captain Cuti will serve and complete a one-match suspension on Sunday after he was shown two yellow cards before being dismissed in the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Xavi, however, will begin a three-game suspension as he was sent off for what was deemed serious foul play in a coming together with Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.

Romero will be eligible to return to action on New Year's Day when we head to Brentford in the league while Xavi will not be available until our trip to AFC Bournemouth on 7 January.
