Plausible Spurs XI vs Palace

Let’s get a few things straight. Spurs have won 60% of their last 20 home league games and Crystal Palace have lost 45% of their last 20 away league games.

Palace are pants. They have considerable form, beyond this season, for being pants.

The only talent or ingenuity they’ve ever shown is the ability to swerve the relegation zone.

That said, should one seek to make a judgement upon a snapshot, then the form guide favours the Eagles. So Spurs will have to have their Banana Skins Radar switched to ’11’.

Referee: Craig Pawson. Assistants: Ian Hussin, Richard West. Fourth official: Michael Salisbury. VAR: Jonathan Moss. Assistant VAR: Eddie Smart.

Spurs have scored 2 goals or more in 9 of their last 20 home games, whereas Crystal Palace have conceded at least 2 goals in 11 of their last 20 away games.

Palace is a team that Tottenham fans really need to see thumped. The Eagles are currently 4th, whose success nosebleed is largely down to having beaten the troubled Manchester United and the Premier League ballast that is Aston Villa.
