Crystal Palace v Tottenham betting tips: Can Spurs continue Selhurst joy?

Preview and odds for Premier League tie

Saturday night’s Premier League action comes from south of the Thames as Crystal Palace host Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park.

With Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town winning last week, Palace are now just three points from the foot of the table.

Can they get anything from a Spurs side buoyed by a last-gasp comeback against PSV Eindhoven in midweek? The BT Sports cameras are in place for tonight’s clash, which gets underway at 5.30.

Head-to-head

The all-time record gives Spurs 24 wins to Palace’s nine, and that trend hasn’t changed in recent years.

Spurs have won each of their last three visits to Selhurst Park, and four of the last five since the Eagles returned to the Premier League in 2013.

Only Manchester City and Barcelona have beaten Mauricio Pochettino’s men in their last 11 games, while Roy Hodgson’s Palace are on a six-game winless run.

And with eight wins, Pochettino has won more games against Palace than any other Premier League side.

Likely XIs

Hodgson still has problems up front, with Christian Benteke and Connor Wickham set to again miss out through injury.

That means he’ll have to either go with Wilfried Zaha up front, when the Ivory Coast ace is more effective on the wing, or give target man Alexander Sorloth a rare start.

For Spurs, Moussa Dembele is unlikely to play again before 2019. Pochettino may utilise Christian Eriksen in a deeper role to fill the void.
