Tottenham Hotspur will face Crystal Palace tonight, looking to break a 10-match winless streak and achieve their first Premier League win of the year.
The team is in a critical situation, currently in 16th place and only four points above the relegation zone. Manager Igor Tudor experienced a disappointing 2–1 defeat against Fulham on Sunday and is eager to avoid becoming the first manager since 2004 to lose his first two matches in charge. Historically, Spurs have won 16 of their last 21 meetings with Palace, but they’ve lost two of their last three matches against them.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
Igor Tudor is working with a squad missing nine senior players due to injuries and suspensions. Djed Spence is doubtful due to a calf issue, which may require adjustments on the wings. Teenage midfielder Archie Gray might take on a flexible role in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Conor Gallagher has a strong scoring record against Palace, with four goals to his name. There are also calls for Mathys Tel to receive his first start following a lively appearance at Craven Cottage.
Guglielmo Vicario will be in goal, backed by a defensive trio of Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Radu Drăgușin. João Palhinha and Pape Matar Sarr are set to support the midfield, with Pedro Porro returning to the right side. Xavi Simons will aim to spark the attack behind strikers Richarlison and Mathys Tel. Spurs are looking to end a streak of 12 winless midweek Premier League games, a challenge Tudor must confront to avoid falling further behind.
