Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Predicted Lineups: Starting XIs

Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur prepare for an intriguing Premier League clash at Selhurst Park, with both sides having contrasting fortunes this season.

Tottenham come in with an impressive run in the league and a recent Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar. Ange Postecoglou’s side are high on attacking prowess, with notable performances from Son Heung-min and James Maddison.

Palace, on the other hand, face scoring challenges as they continue their search for their first league win of the campaign. Manager Oliver Glasner will look to leverage home advantage in hopes of an upset against a formidable Spurs side.

Below is a look at the probable lineups each team might employ.

Palace will likely make minimal changes to their starting XI as they continue to grapple with injuries, especially in midfield.

Chadi Riad, Chris Richards, and Matheus Franca remain sidelined, while Cheick Doucoure’s ankle injury may keep him out of contention for this weekend.

Despite struggling to adapt to the league so far, Daichi Kamada will likely get another start in the middle of the park alongside Adam Wharton, who himself is trying to play through injury.

Palace Predicted Lineup to face Spurs

Henderson; Lacroix, Chalobah, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Kamada, Nketiah, Eze

Here is how the side last lined up

Tottenham rested a few key players in their recent Europa League fixture. Captain Son Heung-min should return to the starting lineup after a brief rest due to soreness.

Spurs will aim to build on their strong league form, likely fielding their usual attacking formation.

Postecoglou is expected to continue with his attacking formation, featuring Maddison as the midfield creator and Son leading the frontline. Richarlison and Kulusevski could support from the wings, while Bissouma brings defensive solidity to the midfield.

At the back, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are expected to start as fullbacks with Romero and Van de Ven anchoring the central defence. Vicario remains a reliable option in goal as Spurs seek to add to Palace’s woes.
