Teams Preview
Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview
Tottenham are finally finding their feet after a difficult start to the season. Having gone winless in their first six league games, Spurs have now secured back-to-back victories, following a 3-1 win over Coventry with an impressive 2-0 triumph at Chelsea on MD8.
Mathys Tel scored the second goal, while an own goal opened the scoring, with both strikes coming late in the game. More importantly, Spurs kept a clean sheet, against an attack-minded Chelsea side at Stamford Bridge, suggesting their confidence is growing.
However, Spurs still have work to do at home, having won just one of their four league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season. Crystal Palace have also won on their last two Premier League visits to the venue, making this a tricky test. Nevertheless, Tottenham will hope their renewed momentum helps them overcome their recent home struggles.
The Spurs are on an unbeaten run of three-match in the Premier League (W2 D1).
The win against Chelsea was their first against the Blues in the Premier League since 2023.

Crystal Palace Preview
Crystal Palace head into this London derby desperate to bounce back from consecutive Premier League defeats. A heavy 5-0 loss to Brighton was followed by a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle on MD8, exposing their defensive frailties. The Eagles have now conceded 19 league goals, the most of any team this season, including seven across their last two outings.
However, Palace regained some confidence in midweek with a 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Fulham, courtesy of Eddie Nketiah's goal. Pierre Sage will hope that victory sparks a league revival, although his side must tighten up defensively against a Tottenham team that has regained their attacking rhythm.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs CRYSTAL PALACE
Winning PredictionTottenham and Crystal Palace head into this London derby with contrasting momentum, as Spurs look to build on their recent revival while Palace struggle for consistency. However, Tottenham's recent derby record is far from convincing, with just two wins in their last 10 Premier League London derbies, having ended a six-match losing streak against Chelsea last time out.
Palace have fared slightly better in recent league derbies, boasting one more win than their rivals. Nevertheless, Spurs' improved form gives them the edge, and we are backing the hosts to narrowly win this encounter.
The bookmakers too agree, favouring Tottenham at odds of 1.50, with Palace's at 5.40 and the draw priced at 4.60.
