Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2024-25

North London gears up to host the Selhurst outfit.

Matchweek 36 of the Premier League 2024-25 takes us to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Spurs and Crystal Palace lock horns.

One of the first clubs in the 20th century to complete a domestic double, Tottenham Hotspur are now two matches away from ending their 64-year trophy drought. With their sights set on clinching the UEFA Europa League, Ange Postecoglou would be keen to give opportunities to his young players to rise up to the occasion.

Tottenham are currently positioned 16th in the points table, and the only way they can secure a continental spot is by winning the Europa League. However, to salvage some pride domestically, Spurs would be looking forward to winning their remaining three games to climb higher in the points table.

Crystal Palace find themselves in a similar situation to their immediate opponents. With South London gearing up for a possible upset against Manchester City in the FA Cup Finals, Oliver Glasner would treat this match as a mere formality as he would be in no mood to endure any injury before Palace’s most important clash, probably in this decade so far.

They are positioned 12th in the Premier League points table, and a win won’t make much difference in the league standings. It would be interesting to see if Crystal Palace treat this game as a build-up to the FA Cup Finals or if they play it safer.

Players to watch :

Richarlison (Tottenham)

Richarlison had been Brazil’s most impressive player in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Since then, injuries and a series of inconsistent performances have seen him relegated to being benched most often. The remaining three games of the season would be crucial for him to showcase his quality and talent.

The 27-year-old Brazilian centre forward has exercised his footballing prowess with Watford and Everton before putting pen to paper to sign a deal with the North London outfit. He has so far made 68 appearances for Tottenham and scored 16 goals.

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)

Marc Guehi, the 24-year-old English centre back, rose through the ranks of the Chelsea and Cray Wanderers youth academy before being loaned to Swansea City. In 2021, he decided to make a permanent move to Crystal Palace, and since then, he has stood up strongly to defend the Eagles’ post.

His ability to make crucial blocks and transition quickly to initiate counterattacks has significantly helped Crystal Palace in their quest to lift the FA Cup title. Guehi will be eager to secure a clean sheet against Spurs before the all-important clash against Manchester City.
