The pressure continues to be heaped on Oliver Glasner and his coaching staff to find a way to get a first victory of the season, and that will be far from easy against a Spurs side that have been inconsistent this season.

PREVIOUS MEETING
27/10/2023 – After a goalless first half, Joel Ward turned the ball into his own net to give the visitors the lead, and they doubled that not long after through Son Heung-Min. Jordan Ayew pulled one back in injury time but too little too late for the Eagles. |

ONE TO WATCH
MICKY VAN DE VEN |
FORMER CLUBS – WSV 30, Volendam, Vfl Wolfsburg |
The 23-year-old has impressed since joining Spurs in August last year having put pen to paper on a six year deal. It says a lot about the player he is having taken the captains armband in his first full season at Volendam. |
KEY CLASH
EDDIE NKETIAH v MICKY VAN DE VEN |
Perhaps added incentive for the former Arsenal man in this fixture as he is desperate to net his first Premier League goal for the Eagles, but the fleet footed Dutch defender will have other ideas. |

TEB PREDICTION
It is no secret that Palace are absolutely desperate to get a win under their belt amid rumours that the board are considering the position of Glasner. That would be a travesty should it end that way but with Spurs playing in European competition in midweek, there could be an opportunity to take advantage of their inconsistency this season. It will like be an unexpected win to get Palace on their way, so why not this one? Having said that, we think are more likely to take a share of the spoils but go close to that first win.
PREDICTED SCORE: 1-1 |
