Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur have not been at their best under Antonio Conte and are in desperate need of a shot in the arm at the moment. The likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min can be lethal on their day and have a point to prove this week.
Crystal Palace have blown hot and cold this season and will need to put their best foot forward in this fixture. Tottenham Hotspur are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
