Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage, Tottenham will be looking to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Crystal Palace in yet another London derby. Spurs have been showing signs of improvement, with Gareth Bale finally earning a place in the starting XI. Since midfielder Lo Celso should be the only absentee in Jose Mourinho’s team, home win should be considered.
The Eagles, on the other hand, head into the match with a severely-weakened squad. Even though Roy Hodgson’s troops managed to hold Man Utd to a goalless draw in midweek, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Spurs’ party at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In their last home game in the English top flight Jose Mourinho’s men rolled over Burnley 4-0, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Spurs.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
Highlighted Team (Crystal Palace):
Crystal Palace Football Club is an English football club which was founded in 1905. The original headquarters of Crystal Palace was based in Sydenham. After being forced to move in 1915 the club settled in Selhurst Park which currently holds a capacity of 27 000 seats. The club Crystal Palace was named after a building which was placed on the Sydenham.
The club colors of Crystal Palace are blue and red. The supporters of Crystal Palace call their team the Eagles or the Glaziers. Crystal Palace is one of the many clubs from London. Crystal Palace never managed to win any trophy in any English football division. The best performance of Crystal Palace was in 2014/2015 where the club managed to end 10th in the Premier League.
