Referee: Andy Madley. Assistants: Nick Hopton, Wade Smith. Fourth official: Graham Scott. VAR: Stuart Attwell. Assistant VAR: Nick Greenhalgh.
Coming off the back of a very poor showing from Palace away to Newcastle last Saturday, we now host top of the league, unbeaten Tottenham Hotspur.
Great…
Ange Postecoglou has revitalised this Spurs team since his arrival over the summer, with the side playing some unrecognisable football under the Aussie.
Team News
CRY: We are slowly starting to look much better than a few weeks prior on the injury front. Ebere Eze, Michael Olise and Dean Henderson are the big names that are still out for the foreseeable. James Tomkins is also missing with a calf injury. Other than these players however, Hodgson has a full squad of players to select for the starting XI.
TOT:
Spurs will be without Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Manor Solomon for tonight’s fixture. However, Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr are both set to return to the side after the pair were substituted midway through the second half.

Match prediction:
I’m in two minds about tonight. On paper, we don’t have much hope in this game – Spurs are hot on form, and we remain without our best attacking players. However, coming off the back of that embarrassing performance against the Magpies, where the players showed little fight or effort for that matter, I think they should be playing with a point to prove. Selhurst will be bouncing, with fans expecting much better effort levels than last week. I can see us grinding out a draw tonight, 2-2.
Enjoy Selhurst under the lights tonight all going – Up the Palace 🔴🔵
