Crystal Palace v Tottenham

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Preview

Crystal Palace's disastrous start to this season's Premier League campaign continued last weekend when The Eagles slumped to a 1-0 defeat away from home at Nottingham Forest, while Tottenham secured a third win in their last four games last weekend with a comprehensive 4-1 rout of West Ham.

Having been dealt five defeats already within their opening five games and failing to register a win so far this season, Crystal Palace currently occupy third from bottom place in the Premier League table and further trouble could be just around the corner for Oli Glasner's side on Sunday afternoon when they play host to Tottenham.

Crystal Palace have managed to pick up just three points from a possible 24 on offer so far this season whilst slipping to losses at the hands of Brentford, West Ham, Everton, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest respectively, so The Eagles' prospects of securing their first win this term looks highly unlikely.

Current form is therefore in stark contrast to how Palace finished up last season's campaign as the hosts had ended last term with a flourish as they had put together a seven-match unbeaten sequence which consisted of six wins and a draw.

Goals may also feature in this Sunday's encounter as five out of Crystal Palace's last 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Tottenham will make the short trip across London on Sunday afternoon when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park with the north London outfit having won three of their last four league matches overall.

Despite being handed a 3-2 defeat away from home at Brighton beforehand, Tottenham quickly shrugged off their disappointment of throwing away a two-goal lead by picking up all three points in last weekend's 4-1 home romp over West Ham.

Having also picked up victories against the likes of Brentford and Manchester United previously, Ange Postecoglou's side will be in confident mood as they prepare to take on the struggling Eagles.

Overall results so far in these early stages of this season's Premier League have seen Tottenham produce some inconsistent results as the north London visitors have picked up four wins, one draw but also handed three defeats within their opening eight games overall.

However, although Tottenham may not be guaranteed the three points here, the prospects of a few goals does look more promising as seven out of Tottenham's last 10 matches overall have resulted in Over 2.5 goals, while the same ratio applies to Tottenham's last 10 away games in the Premier League as well.
