Tottenham Hotspur will endeavour to maintain their perfect start to the 2021-22 Premier League season when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have marched to three consecutive 1-0 victories over Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Watford so far, with Son Heung-min scoring the winner against the latter just before the international break.
The Lilywhites have stormed to the top of the rankings as the only team with maximum points so far, while they are also the only team in the division yet to concede ahead of gameweek four.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
