• Competition: Premier League
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Selhurst Park (London)

For the last decade, Crystal Palace were constantly a mid-table team in the English top-flight division, finishing between 10th and 15th place. This season, at least at the start, the Eagles are again at the middle of the table, with 12 points in 18 matches, already eight above the danger zone. 

Tottenham are coming to this season after the worst one in the last 14 years. The Spurs finished 8th and missed Europe by one point. Over the Summer, the club made significant changes by adding new coach Ange Postecoglou, selling Harry Kane, and using that money to add a few excellent players. Although it is still early, Tottenham looks great and are deservedly at the top of the league with 23 points in nine rounds. 

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham pick: Tottenham to win

Crystal Palace had a very good start to the season, winning three of the first five games (four in the league & one in the Carabao Cup). Still, in the next six games, the Eagles won just once and had massive problems offensively, scoring just twice during that period. 

Tottenham won seven of ten games this season in all competition and, along with Arsenal, are the only undefeated team in the Premier League. Their only loss this season came in the Carabao Cup vs Fulham on the road, but after the penalty shootout in a match where they heavily rotated the squad. 

Even though many of us expected Tottenham to suffer offensively without Kane, that has not been the case so far. The Spurs have been great offensively, scoring two or more goals in eight of ten matches this season. 

In the previous years, Tottenham had very little problems with Crystal Palace, as they beaten them in four of the last five games. Considering the difference in h2h games and a massive difference in form, we expect the Spurs to walk away with all three points.
