THE LOWDOWN
TOTTENHAM
- Tottenham returned to action following the Covid-19 outbreak within their camp with a thrilling 2-2 draw against Liverpool and backed that up with victory over West Ham in the Carabao Cup quarter-final this past Wednesday.
- Spurs remain without Cristian Romero and he has been joined on the sidelines by Ryan Sessegnon, who picked up a muscle injury against Liverpool.
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace have struggled on their travels across the last couple of months, picking up just a point from their last three away matches and it won’t get any easier for them here in North London
- Midfielder James McArthur will be hoping to have recovered from injury in time to play some part here, however Nathan Ferguson remains out injured.

THE PREDICTION
Tottenham have continued their recent upturn in fortunes under Antonio Conte this past week with their home form under the Italian particularly excellent. Spurs have picked up ten points from from their last four home league fixtures and it’s hard not to see that good form continuing here. Crystal Palace do pose a threat on the counter-attack in particular with their pace going forward, however the hosts boasts a superior squad, far fitter, mentally tougher and more clinical than they were a couple of months back. Ultimately Spurs should overwhelm the Eagles across the 90 minutes and emerge victorious.
Tip: TOTTENHAM TO WIN
