Tottenham Hotspur will visit Selhurst Park on Sunday as they seek to improve their league position.
Currently, Thomas Frank’s team is struggling for consistency in December, dropping to 14th place after four losses in six matches. Their away performance has been poor, but Spurs have a history of strong finishes at the end of the year, losing only once in their last 16 year-end games.
However, Spurs have found it hard against teams above them lately, especially in away London derbies. The return of Richarlison to the starting lineup and the creativity from Pedro Porro give fans some hope. Spurs aim to regain the attacking style they showed in the early part of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Thomas Frank is facing several mandatory changes due to multiple suspensions and absences. Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero are both out following their red cards in the recent loss to Liverpool. The midfield is further weakened by the absence of Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma. Long-term injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski continue to limit creative options.
Kevin Danso is expected to partner with Micky van de Ven in defense to replace the suspended Romero. Up front, Richarlison is likely to start after scoring as a substitute recently, with Randal Kolo Muani and Lucas Bergvall expected to support him. Meanwhile, Dominic Solanke remains sidelined due to an ankle injury, putting the pressure on the available players to score against a tough Palace defense.
