Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

It doesn’t get any easier for Roy Hodgson and Crystal Palace. His schedule since taking over from Frank de Boer has seen meetings with the Manchester clubs and Chelsea, and now he runs into a Tottenham team flying after their midweek Champions League triumph against Real Madrid. Hodgson will take inspiration from the way that Palace upset the odds to beat Chelsea while Tottenham will be wary of Wilfried Zaha, a player they would love to sign. David Hytner
