Tottenham v Crystal Palace

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Preview

Tottenham were dealt a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves last time out in the Premier League which put an end to a promising looking unbeaten run of five games in the English top flight but the hosts still occupy fifth place and hold a three-point cushion over sixth placed Manchester United, while Crystal Palace moved up into 13th place on the back of a 3-0 home win against Burnley last weekend.

Tottenham had previously collected important wins against Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton respectively, along with picking up points in draws with Manchester United and Everton so Spurs will be eager to return to winning ways in this all-London affair at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Indeed, recent results overall have certainly been encouraging for the north London outfit as Tottenham have slipped to just two defeats from their previous 10 games overall in the Premier League which includes picking up a total of six wins during this period and manager Ange Postecoglou will be urging his players on for another three points as they look to further consolidate their European spot in the Premier League table.

Spurs have also won five out of their last six home games heading into Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace.

It may have been an end of an era when former manager Roy Hodgson stepped down from his tenure at The Eagles but a new one has just begun with Oliver Glasner taking over the reigns at Selhurst Park and the Austrian coach's first game in charge of Crystal Palace resulted in a resounding 3-0 home win against Burnley.

The former Eintracht Frankfurt manager will now be seeking a second win on the trot in the Premier League this Saturday when his side make the relatively short trip to north London to take on Tottenham but this upcoming encounter looks to be a much tougher proposition for The Eagles especially as the bigger picture shows the visitors have managed to capture just three wins from their last 15 matches overall.

Rare successes against Brentford, Sheffield United and aforementioned Burnley have all been achieved on home soil at their Selhurst Park ground but the visitors have also been handed no fewer than eight defeats within these 15 games as well, four of which have been dealt out to The Eagles on their travels.

Losses at Luton Town, Chelsea, Arsenal and Brighton do not bode well for this upcoming visit to Tottenham especially as Palace have now failed to win any of their last seven away games.

Tottenham v Crystal Palace Verdict

Tottenham have enjoyed the lions share of the spoils over Palace in previous exchanges as Spurs have lost just once in their last 10 meetings, picking up seven wins in the process.
