TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Tottenham are finally finding their feet after a difficult start to the season. Having gone winless in their first six league games, Spurs have now secured back-to-back victories, following a 3-1 win over Coventry with an impressive 2-0 triumph at Chelsea on MD8. 

Mathys Tel scored the second goal, while an own goal opened the scoring, with both strikes coming late in the game. More importantly, Spurs kept a clean sheet,  against an attack-minded Chelsea side at Stamford Bridge, suggesting their confidence is growing.

However, Spurs still have work to do at home, having won just one of their four league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season. Crystal Palace have also won on their last two Premier League visits to the venue, making this a tricky test. Nevertheless, Tottenham will hope their renewed momentum helps them overcome their recent home struggles.

The Spurs are on an unbeaten run of three-match in the Premier League (W2 D1). 

The win against Chelsea was their first against the Blues in the Premier League since 2023.

Tottenham have recorded just two wins from their last 15 Premier League home games. 

Team News 

Lucas Bergvall and Tosin Adarabioyo are expected to return to the squad for the upcoming fixture. Destiny Udogie is progressing in his recovery but is unlikely to be available this weekend, while James Maddison remains a major doubt.

Tottenham Probable starting Lineup

Antonín Kinský (GK);  Pedro Porro, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven, Archie Gray, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Mohammed Kudus, Conor Gallagher, Mathys Tel, Omar Marmoush.

Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace head into this London derby desperate to bounce back from consecutive Premier League defeats. A heavy 5-0 loss to Brighton was followed by a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle on MD8, exposing their defensive frailties. The Eagles have now conceded 19 league goals, the most of any team this season, including seven across their last two outings.

However, Palace regained some confidence in midweek with a 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Fulham, courtesy of Eddie Nketiah's goal. Pierre Sage will hope that victory sparks a league revival, although his side must tighten up defensively against a Tottenham team that has regained their attacking rhythm. 

Crystal Palace have faced the second highest number of defeats in the league this season (5). 

The Eagles have registered the second highest xA for a side in the league this season (15.76). 

Crystal Palace have recorded just two wins from their last 15 Premier League games. 

Team News 

Aside from their long-term absentees, Crystal Palace have fitness concerns over Ismaïla Sarr and Jørgen Strand Larsen ahead of the weekend clash. Meanwhile, Dean Henderson returned to action in the midweek Carabao Cup fixture.

Crystal Palace Probable starting Lineup

Henderson (GK); Chris Richards, Axel Disasi, Jaydee Canvot, Anan Khalaili, Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, Tyrick Mitchell, Dwight McNeil, Yéremy Pino, Jean-Philippe Mateta.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs CRYSTAL PALACE
Winning Prediction

Tottenham and Crystal Palace head into this London derby with contrasting momentum, as Spurs look to build on their recent revival while Palace struggle for consistency. However, Tottenham's recent derby record is far from convincing, with just two wins in their last 10 Premier League London derbies, having ended a six-match losing streak against Chelsea last time out. 

Palace have fared slightly better in recent league derbies, boasting one more win than their rivals. Nevertheless, Spurs' improved form gives them the edge, and we are backing the hosts to narrowly win this encounter.

The bookmakers too agree, favouring Tottenham at odds of 1.50, with Palace's   at 5.40 and the draw priced at 4.60.

Tottenham to win (1-0).
