Overview
Crystal Palace have been in poor form since the start of the 2024-2025 season. They are one of four clubs that have yet to taste victory in the Premier League.
The Selhurst Park home team has drawn 3, lost 5 and is currently ranked 18th. Palace's attack is giving coach Oliver Glasner a headache as they have only scored 5 goals, the worst record in the tournament.
As for Tottenham, they quickly regained their confidence after losing 2-3 to Brighton in round 7. "The Rooster" defeated West Ham with a score of 4-1 last weekend. After that, they continued to overcome AZ Alkmaar with a minimal difference in the Europa League.
Spurs' attack has been in great form under coach Ange Postecoglou. As of round 9 of the Premier League, they have scored 18 goals, second only to Manchester City.
While it is unclear whether captain Son Heung-min will be back by the weekend, Tottenham can still put their faith in other notable names such as Brennan Johnson (6 goals), Dominic Solanke (3 goals, 2 assists) or James Maddison (2 goals, 4 assists).
Tottenham also completely outperform Crystal Palace when considering the head-to-head record. In the last 5 encounters, Spurs won all 5. Another victory is completely within reach for the team led by Postecoglou.
It is also worth noting that Palace have only won one of their previous 16 Premier League meetings with Spurs.
Human resources situation
Crystal Palace will once again be without Chadi Riad, Cheick Doucoure, Chris Richards and Matheus Franca, all of whom are out through injury.
On the other side of the front line, Tottenham captain Son Heung-min missed the Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar due to injury. The possibility of the Korean player playing against Palace remains uncertain.
Expected lineup:
Crystal Palace: Henderson, Lacroix, Chalobah, Guehi, Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell, Kamada, Nketiah, Eze.
Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Son Heung-min.
