THE LOWDOWN
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace are yet to win in this season’s Premier League, but came from behind twice to secure a respectable 2-2 draw away at high-flying West Ham last time out.
- The likes of Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson remain absent for this one, however boss Patrick Viera will have both Luka Milivojevic and new signing Michael Olise available for this match.
TOTTENHAM
- Tottenham are the only side remaining in the Premier League with a 100% record, having won their three opening games all by a single goal.
- Heung-Min Son and Oliver Skipp started in all three of those games, but the former is definitely out after picking up an injury on international duty, whilst Giovani Lo Celso, Christian Romero and Davinson Sanchez are all in quarantine after travelling into a red list country representing Argentina.

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Guaita; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Gallagher, Kouyate, McArthur; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew

QUESTIONABLE: Sessegnon (Injured), Skipp (Injured), Bergwijn (Injured), Son (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Crystal Palace host Tottenham as they bid to secure their first league victory of the season, but that will prove a tough assignment against the current table toppers who are yet to concede a Premier League goal after three games. This doesn’t bode well for a Palace side that failed to score in three of their four matches played in all competitions. Whilst Spurs will be sweating on the fitness of first-team players such as Heung-Min Son and Oliver Skipp, they should still have enough strength-in-depth within their squad to come out on top here, albeit most likely by another narrow margin with star striker Harry Kane perhaps the man set to make the difference.
Tip: TOTTENHAM TO WIN
