Two sides with excellent continental form but underwhelming domestic form lock horns

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London gears up to host the Matchweek 29 fixture of the English Premier League, featuring the home side Tottenham and Crystal Palace.

On one hand, Tottenham are just two spots above the relegation zone, on the other, they are competing for the top European honours after finishing fourth in the UCL points table. They parted ways with Thomas Frank and appointed former Juventus gaffer Igor Tudor as head coach, but the results have been the same.

The reigning FA Cup champions are met with the same fate. They recently made their way to the UEFA Conference League Round of 16, but are just four spots above the relegation zone. They are led by Oliver Glasner, who has previously led teams like Frankfurt and Wolfsburg.

Kick-off:

• Location: North London, England
• Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
• Date: Friday, March 6
• Kick-off Time: 1:30 a.m. IST
• Referee: TBD
• VAR: In use
