Tottenham vs Crystal Palace: Lineups, Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Match Summary

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace is a Premier League London derby between a Spurs side finding their feet and a Palace side looking nervously over their shoulder.

Tottenham are finally clicking, with victory at Chelsea bringing back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since August 2025. They still start the weekend 14th in the table.

Palace are in a far grimmer place. A division-worst 19 goals conceded has left the Palace boss under serious pressure, with the Eagles sitting just above the relegation zone.

Previous meetings between these two are split right down the middle at three wins apiece with no draws, so neither side can lean on any historical edge here.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Form

The win at Stamford Bridge was the statement result of Tottenham's recent run, a first clean-sheet league victory there in nearly 40 years. Mathys Tel chipped in with an excellent goal last Saturday, Mohammed Kudus remains the outlet down the right, and the hosts now rank sixth in the division on recent form.

Palace's league campaign has been a slog, built on a defence that keeps springing leaks, and they sit 17th in the table. Cup action brought some relief, with Eddie Nketiah's goal earning a 1-0 EFL Cup win at Fulham on Wednesday. Up top, Jørgen Strand Larsen is the main threat, with Yéremy Pino operating behind him.

Tottenham

The Tottenham vs Crystal Palace lineups start with a sweat over James Maddison, who hobbled off at Chelsea with a muscle problem. Destiny Udogie's knee keeps him doubtful, so Andy Robertson is set to stay at left-back, while Pedro Porro is in line for his first start since mid-September. The probable XI sticks with the 4-2-3-1, and Mathys Tel will be pushing hard to keep his place.

Crystal Palace

Dean Henderson is set to make his first appearance since suffering an ankle injury in September, which would put him straight back in goal. Ismaïla Sarr remains doubtful with an ongoing groin problem, while Quinten Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu both miss out. The probable XI keeps the 3-4-2-1, with Jørgen Strand Larsen leading the line.

Palace have conceded at least two goals in 12 of their last 14 Premier League matches, and that sort of defending rarely produces a stubborn, low-scoring afternoon.

Tottenham to win in the Win Market. They are the model favourites at home. Tottenham carry a 59% win probability in the projections, well clear of anything Palace can offer. They also arrive sixth on recent form in the division, while the visitors are scrapping near the foot of the table.

Spurs are chasing a hat-trick of league wins for the first time since February 2025, and the head coach has spoken of his pride in the squad's tactical adaptation and resilience. The obvious battleground is the Tottenham right, where Pedro Porro and Mohammed Kudus can target a Palace side that is badly exposed by attacks down the wings. The Palace board have given their manager more time, but that patience will be tested again if the defence folds in north London's direction. The Tottenham vs Crystal Palace betting odds tell the story, with Palace out at 5/1 with Betfred.
