Recent Form:

Tottenham Hotspur have been in torrid form, yet to win a Premier League match in 2026. Their winless run has stretched to 10 games, dragging them into an unexpected battle to avoid relegation.

Their last outing was a 2-1 defeat away at Fulham and now desperately need to bounce back against another London opponent. 

Crystal Palace have been far from flying themselves, but have won two of their last four league games, easing any relegation worries that might have been brewing.

Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace side looked terrific in the first half on Sunday as they went 1–0 up away at Manchester United, but a red card for Maxence Lacroix changed the game, and Palace eventually fell to a 2–1 defeat.

What’s been said:

Tottenham interim manager Igor Tudor said: “We have had a good, short period to prepare for this game. I saw the guys reacting well and we need to be optimistic for the game, playing at home against a good team, but in our stadium with our fans so we want to do a good game tomorrow.

“You work day by day and see the players want it, that’s the main thing that makes me positive, makes me believe that we will do it.”

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: “Now we are starting the crunch time in the UEFA Conference League. We are starting the crunch time in the Premier League. We are on top of it.

“Everybody is in the best shape and we are in the best shape as a team. I think we are not there right now, but I feel we are going step by step into the right direction.”
