It’s a weird thing to say, but Tottenham are locked in a fight against relegation at the moment. Spurs are 16th in the standings with just 29 points won. This puts them just two points ahead of the 18th West Ham United and the relegation zone. Tottenham are in a run of four consecutive losses at the moment.
Crystal Palace find themselves at 14th place in the Premier League standings. The FA Cup holders lost two of their last three matches in the competition.
Tottenham Hotspur News & Analysis
Even the arrival of the new manager Igor Tudor didn’t help Tottenham to improve their results. The Croatian head coach lost his first two matches in the Premier League against Arsenal and Fulham. Spurs have won just 7 of their games in the league so far.
In their last match Spurs paid a visit to Fulham at the Craven Cottage, but conceded a 1-2 defeat. Richarlison scored for Tottenham in the middle of the second half, but it didn’t make a difference.
Igor Tudor could make a few changes in the line-up compared to the team he put against Fulham. Richarlison could return in the starting eleven after his goal against Fulham while Kevin Danso is an option for strengthening the defence. Meanwhile Kudus, Odobert, Bergvall and Bentancur remain sidelined with injuries.
Crystal Palace News & Analysis
Just like Tottenham, Crystal Palace can’t be fully satisfied with their season so far. The Londoners are 14th in the standings, being four points behind Top 10. There are some rumours that Oliver Glasner could not be continuing as manager.
In their last match Palace suffered their 11th defeat for the season. The Eagles faced Manchester United at the Old Trafford and they were one goal ahead, but at the end didn’t keep their advantage. Maxence Lacroix scored Palace’s only goal in the match.
Crystal Palace’s problems against Manchester United came in the 56th minute. That’s when Maxence Lacroix was sent off while causing a penalty kick. It became easier for United in that moment. Obviously Lacroix won’t be playing against Tottenham.
