Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Match Summary

Tottenham welcome Crystal Palace to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Premier League London derby, with Spurs chasing a third straight league win and Palace scrapping to stay clear of trouble.

Roberto De Zerbi finally has Spurs clicking. The win at Chelsea delivered back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since August 2025, and the fixture list now looks kind.

Pierre Sage is under serious pressure. Palace have shipped 19 league goals, the most in the top flight, and arrive sitting just above the relegation zone.

There is nothing to split these sides head-to-head: three wins apiece from their previous meetings, with not a single draw. Three points here would ease pressure in one dugout and build momentum in the other.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Form

Spurs carry proper momentum after winning at Stamford Bridge. Their recent form ranks sixth in the division. That sits oddly with 14th on the log, but the trend is pointing up. Mathys Tel's excellent strike last Saturday showed the spark, and this attack thrives on individual skill. Finishing is still the weak spot, so expect some waste before the goals come.

Palace are a mess at the back, letting in two or more goals 12 times across their previous 14 Premier League outings. Five defeats from eight league games tell the story, though the win at Fulham last month showed some fight. Jørgen Strand Larsen remains the main outlet, and this side do have a habit of coming back from losing positions.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

Tottenham: Sávio (Injured/out), Wilson Odobert (Injured/out), Xavi Simons (Injured/out), Lucas Bergvall (Injured/out), Mykhailo Mudryk (Injured/out), Destiny Udogie (Injured/doubtful), James Maddison (Injured/doubtful), Tosin Adarabioyo (Doubtful), Rodrigo Bentancur (Suspended), Richarlison (Ineligible)

Crystal Palace: Takehiro Tomiyasu (Injured/out), Quinten Timber (Injured/out), Chadi Riad (Injured/out), Ismaïla Sarr (Injured/doubtful), Dean Henderson (Doubtful)

Tottenham

James Maddison is the big worry after hobbling off against Chelsea with a muscle problem. Destiny Udogie (knee) remains a doubt, so Andy Robertson looks set to keep the left-back berth. Pedro Porro is in line for his first start since mid-September after coming off the bench at Stamford Bridge, while Mathys Tel will hope his goal keeps him involved. Sávio, Lucas Bergvall and Mykhailo Mudryk miss out again, Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended and Richarlison is ineligible.

Crystal Palace

Dean Henderson is set to make his first appearance since suffering an ankle injury in September, although he is still listed as doubtful. Ismaïla Sarr remains a doubt with an ongoing groin problem, which would rob the away side of a direct threat. Quinten Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Chadi Riad are all out, so the Tottenham vs Crystal Palace lineups lean on Palace's settled back three.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Talking Points

The key battle is out wide. Spurs love to attack down the right and play with width, while Palace are poor at defending wide attacks and set pieces, so Pedro Porro and Mohammed Kudus can do real damage. In the engine room, Sandro Tonali and Adam Wharton will scrap for control, with Spurs likely to see more of the ball and Palace happy to sit in their own half, steal possession and spring Jørgen Strand Larsen through the middle. For De Zerbi, a third successive league win would confirm the turnaround. For Sage, anything short of a stubborn display deepens the crisis. Keep an eye on the Tottenham vs Crystal Palace betting odds as kick-off approaches and the team news firms up.
