Well, Crystal Palace truly are down to the bare bones.
Roy Hodgson's side have been the walking wounded for much of this hectic festive period, with as many as eight first-team players missing in recent weeks.
Joel Ward, Gary Cahill, Scott Dann, Van Aanholt, Andros Townsend, Jeffrey Schlupp and Christian Benteke have been absent through injury, while Mamadou Sakho only returned from a three-match suspension in the 2-1 win over West Ham on Boxing Day.
Despite that, the Eagles have still only lost just once in their last seven Premier League outings, although with another game against Norwich to come on New Year's Day - Palace's fourth game in 11 days - Hodgson's thin squad will be tested.
In that respect, here's the XI that we think the 72-year-old should deploy against the Canaries...
Compared to the Eagles' starting XI against Southampton last time out, we think Hodgson should make just one change - to be honest, there aren't too many changes that the former England manager could make anyway.
Cheikhou Kouyate was carrying a knock in the win over West Ham on Boxing Day, and was afforded 84 minutes of rest against the Saints before replacing Max Meyer - we think that the Senegal international deserves a bit more rest and should also sit out against Norwich.
Speaking of Meyer, it felt like Hodgson set the German up to fail against Southampton by starting him on the right of midfield, where the former Schalke man had just 19 touches and made nine passes - as a result, we think he should move into the centre and replace James McCarthy.
Elsewhere, with Meyer moving into the centre and no senior candidates to replace him on the right, we think Hodgson should hand a Premier League debut to the tricky academy graduate Brandon Pierrick, who recently signed his first professional contract with the club and looks to be a real live-wire - the 18-year-old recently netted a hat-trick against Millwall's U23 side.
