🗞️ Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

Lucas Bergvall (Ankle injury), James Maddison (Knee injury) and Radu Drăgușin (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Tottenham Hotspur gaffer Ange Postecoglou.

It’s our opinion that Spurs could make use of the 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Guglielmo Vicario, Archie Gray, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, Djed Spence, Mikey Moore, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Mathys Tel.

🗞️ Team News: Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Adam Wharton (Ankle injury), Cheick Doucouré (Knee surgery) and Chadi Riad (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, The Eagles will likely utilise a 3-4-2-1 system, starting the game with Dean Henderson, Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, Daniel Munoz, Daichi Kamada, Will Hughes, Tyrick Mitchell, Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur may find themselves both scoring more than one goal each in what promises to be a fairly balanced contest.

Looks like a high-scoring draw might be possible, as we’re expecting it to be that close. Therefore, we predict a high-scoring affair with a 2-2 score draw when all is said and done.
