Tottenham v Crystal Palace: match preview

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

José Mourinho made it sound as though he envied his Crystal Palace counterpart, Roy Hodgson, who is “without any real pressure to do better than have a stable season”. Hodgson’s team, according to Mourinho, can “just go and play, if they win, great; if they lose, they don’t feel any pressure from media or fans”. Hodgson would surely take issue with the view but what is clear is that all the pressure is on Tottenham in this one. David Hytner
