Crystal Palace XI vs Tottenham Hotspur – Predicted lineup and team news

Crystal Palace travel to North London tonight, aiming to secure consecutive away league victories against Tottenham Hotspur for the first time in their history.

The Eagles have moved into a more stable position in the bottom half of the table, currently sitting in 14th place. Manager Oliver Glasner oversaw a spirited but ultimately fruitless performance in Sunday’s 2–1 loss at Manchester United and now faces a Spurs side sitting just six points behind them. Notably, Palace have won both previous managerial meetings between Glasner and Tudor, with his Frankfurt side beating Tudor’s Marseille twice in 2022.

Crystal Palace team news

Oliver Glasner manages a squad dealing with a major defensive suspension following the weekend’s events. Notably, Maxence Lacroix is unavailable after his red card at Old Trafford. Consequently, Chadi Riad is expected to be drafted into the back three. Notably, goalkeeper Dean Henderson will look to maintain his impressive record against elite opposition; the Eagles have lost just one of their last nine away London derbies. Striker Jørgen Strand Larsen is expected to be fit to lead the line despite a minor knock on Sunday.

Dean Henderson will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Chris Richards and Jaydee Canvot. In midfield, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada are expected to anchor the side, with Daniel Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell operating as wing-backs. Ismaïla Sarr and Brennan Johnson will provide the threat from wide areas in support of Strand Larsen. Notably, Thursday Premier League fixtures this season have been extremely low-scoring, averaging just 0.86 goals per game, with four of the previous seven ending goalless.
