THE LOWDOWN

CRYSTAL PALACE

  • Crystal Palace put their recent two straight Premier League defeats firmly behind them on New Year’s Eve as they comfortably overcame Bournemouth 0-2 on the South Coast with a thoroughly professional performance at both ends of the pitch.
  • Left-back Tyrick Mitchell remains suspended following his red card against Fulham, but centre-back James Tomkins will be back available for selection after being sent off in the same game.

TOTTENHAM

  • It’s just one point from two following the Premier League’s resumption for Tottenham following an incredibly poor 0-2 defeat at home to Aston Villa, enough to see them slip out of the top four.
  • Dejan Kulusevski missed the match due to a slight muscle injury and his importance to this Spurs side was laid bare vs Villa, although he is expected to have recovered in time to feature at Selhurst Park.

THE TEAM NEWS

CRYSTAL PALACE

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Guaita; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Ward; Eze, Doucoure, Schlupp; Olise, Ayew, Zaha

UNAVAILABLE: Ferguson (Injured), Mitchell (Suspended), McCarthur (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Johnstone (Injured)

TOTTENHAM

PREDICTED XI (3-4-3): Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son

UNAVAILABLE: Bissouma (Suspended), Bentancur (Injured), Richarlison (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Lucas Moura (Injured), Kulusevski (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

All does not feel right currently with Tottenham and Antonio Conte and the knives have been sharpened following that insipid performance against Aston Villa. While you’d expect a much-improved display for Spurs at Selhurst Park, especially with Kulusevski likely to feature, Crystal Palace’s pacy, exciting attacking players contain enough quality to cause further pain to the Tottenham backline. Regardless of who takes the London derby spoils, be sure to back both teams to score.

TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
