Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has rewarded forward Son Heung-min for his man-of-the-match performance in the FA Cup third round with a start at Crystal Palace.

The South Korean scored a fine goal to help see off Leicester City in a reply at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night, setting up a meeting with Colchester United in the next round.

Son is joined by England striker Harry Kane up front while Christian Eriksen is given the chance to continue his return to form following a quiet spell before Christmas.

Alan Pardew, meanwhile, will be hoping Connor Wickham can end the Eagles’ toothless ways in recent weeks with the former Sunderland striker entrusted with the lone striker role.

Palace have been linked with transfer moves for Nicklas Bendtner and Emmanuel Adebayor in the past week.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Ledley, Cabaye; Zaha, McArthur, Puncheon; Wickham.
