There have not been too many occasions that Tottenham have met their rivals from south of the river trailing them in the table but that is the scenario Mauricio Pochettino faces here. Victory in the Europa League will at least have given Spurs some confidence after drawing their first two games of the season at home, although Palace have been outstanding on the road under Alan Pardew and will fancy their chances of a ninth away win in 11 since he joined the club in January.
