- Patrick Vieira revealed he could be without Tyrick Mitchell and Michael Olise

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira will make a late call on Tyrick Mitchell and Michael Olise ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea.
Olise sustained an injury while on international duty with France's Under-21s last month while left-back Mitchell was forced off in the weekend loss at Leicester with a minor calf issue.
Vieira revealed both took part in training on Friday but he will have to wait to see how they react on Saturday.

He said: 'We had Tyrick and Michael, who had some training on the field individually yesterday and a little more today.
'Of course then we have to wait until tomorrow to see any reaction but they will only get involved in the game if they are 100 per cent fit.'
Having the pair available will be a major boost for the Eagles ahead of their trip to Wembley.
Vieira withdrew 22 year-old Mitchell in the defeat by Leicester to avoid taking any risks after he has racked up the minutes this season.

Mitchell has cemented his position as Palace's first-choice left-back, starting every Premier League game and only missing eight minutes of their top-flight campaign – when he was subbed late on against Tottenham on Boxing Day – before being forced off against Leicester.
And Mitchell's impressive and consistent displays have earned him England recognition this season with a call-up to Gareth Southgate's squad for the recent friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast in which the youngster earned his first two caps.
Meanwhile, Olise was forced to withdraw from international duty last month with a foot injury and has missed Palace's Premier League games against Arsenal and Leicester.

Mitchell's impressive displays this term earned him his first call up to the England squad
The 20-year-old was called up to the France Under-21 squad for the first time in March, and made his debut for the team as a substitute against the Faroe Islands.
He would have been looking to get some more minutes under his belt against Northern Ireland, but he was ruled out of that clash due to 'inflammation' in his left foot and was forced to return to Selhurst Park.
In 22 top-flight appearances in 2021-22, Olise has been directly involved in seven goals, scoring twice and providing five assists.
He has also thrived in the FA Cup, registering five goal contributions in four appearances to help his side progress into the semi-finals.
