Crystal Palace heads to North London tonight, aiming for back-to-back away league wins against Tottenham Hotspur for the first time ever.

The Eagles have improved their standing in the league, currently in 14th place. Manager Oliver Glasner recently saw his team lose 2–1 to Manchester United and now faces a Spurs team just six points behind them. Notably, Glasner has a strong record against Spurs’ manager Tudor, winning both prior matches when he led Frankfurt against Tudor’s Marseille in 2022.

Crystal Palace team news

Oliver Glasner is managing a squad facing defensive challenges after a red card incident last weekend. Maxence Lacroix is out after his dismissal at Old Trafford, leading to Chadi Riad stepping into the back three. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson will hope to maintain his solid record against strong teams; the Eagles have only lost once in their last nine London derbies. Striker Jørgen Strand Larsen is expected to be fit despite a slight injury on Sunday.

Henderson will start in goal behind Chris Richards and Jaydee Canvot. In midfield, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada are set to hold the fort, with Daniel Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell as wing-backs. Ismaïla Sarr and Brennan Johnson will add width to support Strand Larsen. This season, Thursday night Premier League matches have seen few goals, averaging only 0.86 per game, and four of the last seven have ended scoreless.
