Our predictions for Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
With key injuries piling up, this will be a huge challenge for Tottenham as they face the FA Cup finalists. Spurs will look to leverage their home advantage, but their defensive vulnerabilities could be exploited by Palace's forwards - particularly Mateta and Eze.
Crystal Palace will aim to control the game through midfield and capitalise on set pieces and counter-attacks. Their recent form suggests they can hold their own against strong opposition, but their away record remains a concern.
Match Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Crystal Palace
Form Guide & Team Overview
Tottenham
Spurs have had a challenging season, with their recent form reflecting the struggles they've faced.
Despite beating Southampton a few weeks ago, Tottenham have been inconsistent. Their defensive frailties have been evident, with a significant number of goals conceded in recent games. With just one home win since February, the team won't be brimming with confidence as they welcome Palace to north London.

Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have shown resilience in their recent outings, but haven't picked up a win since early April. Their away form has been particularly concerning, as evidenced by heavy defeats against Newcastle and Manchester City.
The Eagles will be eager to improve their performance on the road and challenge a struggling Spurs side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Head-to-Head Record
Recent Premier League results have tended to go the way of Spurs, with Palace managing just one win from their last five meetings. However, that victory came in October 2024, and with the form of both teams this season, a Crystal Palace win here wouldn't come as a shock to anyone.
