Finding A Way To Get A Win Becoming High Priority For Glasner

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.

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
