CRYSTAL PALACE PREVIEW: THREE LOSSES IN A ROW

Crystal Palace have been dragged into the bottom three after a run of three straight defeats, and they are one of four sides who are yet to pick up a Premier League win this season, so Oliver Glasner will no doubt be feeling an immense amount of pressure at the moment.

The Eagles were last in action on Monday, when Chris Wood's second-half strike was enough for a slender Nottingham Forest victory at the City Ground.

TOTTENHAM PREVIEW: HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Tottenham got back to winning ways with a come-from-behind 4-1 victory against West Ham last weekend, and then followed that up with a 1-0 win over AZ in the Europa League on Thursday.

Ange Postecoglou's side, who won just one of their first four games of the season, have now won seven of their last eight in all competitions, with their only defeat being the second-half collapse against Brighton at the AMEX at the beginning of October.

CRYSTAL PALACE TEAM NEWS: WEEKEND COMES TOO SOON FOR DOUCOURE

Glasner has stated that Adam Wharton is available for the next three fixtures, but he may require surgery following that.

The quartet of Chris Richards, Chadi Riad, Matheus Franca and Cheick Doucoure are still absent, but Doucoure has already had a training session with the team and is the closest to a return.

PREDICTED XI (3-1-4-2): Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Lerma; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Eze, Mateta

UNAVAILABLE: Richards (Injured), Riad (Injured), Franca (Injured), Doucoure (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Holding (Out of favour)

TOTTENHAM TEAM NEWS: SON A MASSIVE DOUBT

After complaining of soreness earlier in the week, Heung-Min Son seems likely to miss out with Postecoglou not sounding particularly confident about the South Korean's prospects of featuring.

Djed Spence is expected to rejoin team training next week, while Lucas Bergvall is a minor concern after suffering with what appeared to be cramp against AZ.

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner

UNAVAILABLE: Spence (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Bergvall (Injured), Son (Injured)

CRYSTAL PALACE VS TOTTENHAM PREDICTION

Spurs have found some fluency of late, especially in the attacking third where Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Heung-Min Son have all been amongst the goals, and against a Palace side who have kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League this season, they could well have some joy on Sunday

However, the Selhurst Park crowd can often lift the homes side and act as the 12th man, so it's best to approach this fixture with caution.

CRYSTAL PALACE VS TOTTENHAM TIP: TOTTENHAM DRAW NO BET
