Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Match Summary

Tottenham host Crystal Palace in a Premier League London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. These two clubs are heading in opposite directions.

Spurs are finally clicking under head coach Roberto De Zerbi. Last weekend's 2-0 win at Chelsea was the kind of result that changes a season's mood, and a friendlier stretch of fixtures starts here.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are hovering just above the relegation zone, and head coach Pierre Sage is under serious pressure after a leaky start to the campaign.

The head-to-head offers no edge — the last six Premier League meetings produced no draws and an even split of wins. Spurs want to keep climbing. Palace need relief.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Form

Spurs arrive with momentum. The win at Chelsea made it consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since August 2025. Their recent form is among the league's best, which makes a 14th-place standing look like a lagging indicator. Mathys Tel's excellent late goal at Stamford Bridge sealed that result, and individual skill is this squad's sharpest weapon.

Crystal Palace are in real trouble under Pierre Sage. They're hovering just above the relegation zone, and no Premier League side has conceded more than their 19 goals. The problem is long-running. Across their last 14 Premier League matches, Palace have shipped at least two goals 12 times. Their saving grace is resilience: coming back from losing positions is a strength.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

Tottenham: Sávio (Injured/out), Wilson Odobert (Injured/out), Xavi Simons (Injured/out), Lucas Bergvall (Injured/out), Mykhailo Mudryk (Injured/out), Destiny Udogie (Injured/doubtful), James Maddison (Injured/doubtful), Tosin Adarabioyo (Doubtful), Rodrigo Bentancur (Suspended), Richarlison (Ineligible)

Crystal Palace: Takehiro Tomiyasu (Injured/out), Quinten Timber (Injured/out), Chadi Riad (Injured/out), Ismaïla Sarr (Injured/doubtful), Dean Henderson (Doubtful)

Tottenham

The biggest question hanging over the Tottenham vs Crystal Palace lineups is James Maddison, who hobbled off against Chelsea with a muscle problem. Destiny Udogie's knee issue leaves him doubtful too, so Andy Robertson could keep his spot at left-back. Pedro Porro is in line for his first start since mid-September after coming off the bench at Stamford Bridge, while Mathys Tel will hope his goal there keeps him in the side. Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended, Richarlison is ineligible, and Lucas Bergvall, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Sávio miss out again.

Crystal Palace

Dean Henderson is listed as doubtful but is set to make his first appearance since suffering an ankle injury in September. Ismaïla Sarr remains a doubt with an ongoing groin problem, which would strip Palace of an attacking outlet. Quinten Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu will both miss out, and Chadi Riad is also sidelined.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Talking Points

Our Tottenham vs Crystal Palace prediction starts on the flanks. Spurs love to play with width and attack down the right, and Porro's likely return at right-back adds another outlet there. That hits Palace right where they're weakest — defending attacks down the wings — and Sage's backline also struggles to stop opponents from creating chances. The worry for Spurs is their own finishing, which doesn't always match the quality of looks their individual skill creates.

Palace's knack for coming back from losing positions is real, but it runs into a Tottenham side that is good at protecting a lead. Spurs have the better players and the better form, and a Palace defense this porous should give them plenty of chances. We like Spurs to win 3-1.
