Tottenham Seek Back-to-Back Derby Wins Against Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will want to stop their winless run of three games in the 66th London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park. The stakes are set high, and since both teams are equally motivated to prove a point this season, the resulting match should be equally exciting.
The Crystal Palace have struggled for form and creativity in the beginning of the season earning only three points in eight matches. Ollie Glasner, who has taken his first season at the helm, does not have an easy task after three successive defeats and Palace occupying the 18th place in the league.
Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand has been proving steadiness after a bitter defeat in their opening game. Homer has placed Ange Postecoglou’s team in seventh place after securing victories in three of their four league games as well as performing impressively in the Europa League group stage winning all three of their games.

Recent Form (All Competitions):

Key Players to Watch
- Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace): Of most importance to Palace is Eze who has been displaying his good vision and ability to create opportunities for his teammates. Since he is noted for his high work rate the player in question is integral in the role of changing the side of the pitch.
- Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur): Son was back from the injury perfectly fine and scored an amazing goal against West Ham. But buried within him is a player that, with technical ability and a default finish, can be lethal.
Injury & Team News
- Crystal Palace: Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad, Matheus Franca, and Chris Richards remain sidelined. Glasner may adjust the attacking trio after a lackluster showing against Nottingham.
- Tottenham Hotspur: Wilson Odobert is ruled out with injury. Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur have returned to the squad, providing a boost.
