Tottenham are on a roll and head into today’s game looking to secure another three points and the coveted bragging rights to another London derby win. With a place in the last-16 of the Europa League all but announced, Ange Postecoglou must feel that he is finally turning the ship around in Haringey. This is our seventh match week in the Premier League, and we look ready to begin a case for top-of-the-table football for a side that was stuttering at first.
The Lilywhite’s form is aided significantly by European form, where three losses in the last six become just one, however, facing a Crystal Palace side with zero wins in their previous half-dozen Premier League games could be just the fixture for the boys from White Hart Lane.
The performance by Mikey Moore midweek against AZ more than caught the eye of supporters, and the last few days have been filled with anticipation about his next appearance. This should be a great opportunity to see the youngster given another run-out, but the final decision will reflect the club’s decisions on whether the lad is ready to play again so soon, for me, I might expect Moore to start on the bench for this one.
My best guess for the starting XI would see Ange give Odobert the nudge and a focus put upon constructing the best midfield available.
Tottenham Hotspur’s probably starting line-up:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Odobert
Prediction: 0-3
