Tottenham vs Crystal Palace

Match preview

Tottenham return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking to steady their Premier League campaign after a sluggish opening two months. Sat down in fourteenth place with nine points from eight matches, the hosts have blown hot and cold recently, though their home form does at least offer a platform to build upon following a mixed bag of early results in front of their own supporters.

Crystal Palace make the short journey across the capital perched precariously just above the drop zone in seventeenth. With seven points gathered from their first eight fixtures, the visitors have struggled for consistency on the road, matching Tottenham's identical away record of one win, one draw and two defeats so far.

Recent history between these two offers encouragement for both camps, with Palace claiming a convincing 3-1 victory here back in March before Tottenham exacted a narrow 1-0 revenge on away turf in December. Neither side can afford a slip-up in this latest London derby as they attempt to pull clear of the lower reaches.
