Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Premier League Preview
Spurs host Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 31 October at 13:30 EST and 17:30 GMT.
Spurs on a high after a historic win over Chelsea
Tottenham find themselves in the unfamiliar position of having won two Premier League matches on the bounce. They beat Coventry 3-1, which included a stunner from the returning James Maddison, and then they picked up an extremely rare win at Stamford Bridge against rivals Chelsea, only their second EPL triumph there in 37 attempts.

Spurs' London rivals Crystal Palace are battling under new boss Pierre Sage, with only seven points from their first eight matches. It's a tally that leaves them hovering dangerously in 17th place in the Premier League. Their current form is dire, with two defeats and no goals in their last two matches, and seven goals conceded. They'll hope, in this instance, to replicate their recent form at Tottenham's home, where they've won their last two EPL visits.
