Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace match preview
Not so long ago, Tottenham were comfortably sat in the top four, but now are in serious danger of missing out on Europe altogether for the first time since 2009.
Last Sunday, Spurs were involved in one of the most bonkers matches in Premier League history, finding themsleves 3-0 down after just 15 minutes at Anfield.
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min then got the comeback going before, in the 93rd minute, Richarlison headed home his first league goal for Spurs, sparking wild celebrations from those still occupying the away section.
However, their jubilation didn’t last long because, straight from kick off, Lucas Moura played a kamikaze back-pass which allowed Diogo Jota to snatch a 4-3 win for Liverpool; crazy scenes.
So, having won just one of their last seven, Tottenham have slipped down to seventh, above Aston Villa by virtue of goal difference alone.
With Villa and Brighton both in infinitely better form, Spurs could be set to finish eighth, which would represent their lowest finish for 14 years.
This though is Roy Hodgson’s free-scoring Crystal Palace, accumulating 13 points from six matches since his return last month.
A week ago, the Eagles beat West Ham 4-3 at Selhurst, with Jordan Ayew, Wilfried Zaha, Jeffrey Schlupp and Eberechi Eze all on target.
This victory lifted Palace into 11th, above Chelsea, having been 12th for 119 consecutive days beforehand.
Given that their remaining games are against Bournemouth, Fulham and Nottingham Forest, the Eagles will be targeting a first top ten finish since 2015.
