Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, October 27
• Time: 2:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham will be one of three games played in the afternoon slot on October 27 as the team in 18^th place will host seventh-placed Spurs in a London derby in the Premier League.

The Eagles will enter this contest on the back of a stuttering run of form. Having defeated Queens Park Rangers in September, they have drawn one and lost three of the next four games. While the defeats have been narrow ones, Crystal Palace have managed to score just one goal in their last four games, which is a concerning sign. They suffered a narrow 1-0 loss in Nottingham Forest match last time out and will look to rectify their form.

Spurs, on the other hand, will enter this contest with heaps of confidence in their minds. They have won four and lost just one of their last five games across competitions, but the nature of that defeat will linger in their minds. They lost 3-2 to Brighton having taken a 2-0 lead, but bounced back with wins against West Ham (4-1) and AZ Alkmaar (1-0) since that game. Having played against 10 men in both those wins, they will need to be solid against Palace to get a result.

Having said that, let’s take a look at the team news from both sides.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Team News

Crystal Palace Team News

The Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner will be without four first-teamers for the next one. Chadi Riad, Cheick Doucoure, Mathues Franca and Chris Richards will surely be out. Apart from that, Glasner should have everybody else at his disposal for selection for the next game.

Tottenham Team News

Manager Ange Postecoglou rotated his side heavily as they hosted AZ in the Europa League midweek. However, the Australian will look to return to his full-strength lineup. Wilson Odobert remains the only player out with an injury, and apart from that, the rest of the lineup should remain unchanged from the West Ham game.

Defenders: Trevoh Chalobah, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi (C).

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Head-to-Head Record

The visitors will travel to Selhurst Park with their heads held high as they have won each of their last five meetings with Crystal Palace. All of those came in the Premier League and Tottenham will look to make it six in six in the next one.

Key Players to Watch

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)

The Palace captain will be in the spotlight as he will look to keep things tight at the back in a 3-man defence. He is Crystal Palace’s highest-rated player in the Premier League this season and has also got on the scoresheet with a header as well. His presence will be key for the team to stay compact and motivated in a tough matchup.

Brennan Johnson (Tottenham)

The Tottenham Hotspur winger has been in great form for Spurs so far this season and has contributed with three goals in the Premier League so far. He will be raring to go against a struggling side and will look to get on the ball and take on defenders as much as he can on the right flank.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Prediction

The last five results do not read well at all for Crystal Palace as they have lost all of those games, scoring just twice and conceding 13 times to Tottenham. However, patterns are always broken in football and Glasner will use that as motivation as he prepares his team for this test. However, Spurs seem to have the quality and depth to tackle this test with good form.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Tottenham.
