Our prediction for this Premier League match:
There will be fireworks when Crystal Palace and Tottenham face each other in the local derby on Wednesday evening. The Eagles did well to make amends for a 3-0 loss to Fulham, with the team beating Bournemouth at the weekend, and a triumph over Spurs could see them climb to the top half of the table. Tyrick Mitchell has yet to serve his ban, but James Tomkins is back from suspension. James McArthur remains on the sidelined with a hip injury.
Antonio Conte’s troops, on the other hand, suffered an unexpected 2-0 loss to Aston Villa, with the team dropping out of the Champions League berth. Tottenham are desperate to return to winning ways, and given Palace’s display in the triumph over Bournemouth, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Bentancur and Richarlison are sidelined with injuries, while Lucas Moura is unlikely to recover in time to face the Eagles.

Born in Kragujevac, Serbia on April 7, 1991, Luka Milivojevic is a product of his home-town club Radnicki Kragujevac. After making 17 appearances for the club in the 2007/2008 season, Milivojevic joined fellow Serbian Super Liga team Rad at the end of the season. The 186-cm-tall midfielder, who is well known for his brilliant long-range shots, played for “Gradjevinari” from 2008 to 2012 and then he moved to famous Serbian club Crvena zvezda (Red Star).
Luka Milivojevic scored seven goals in 36 appearances in the league for the capital club, but at the end of the 2012/2013 season he signed a five-year deal with Belgian outfit Anderlecht. During the 2013/2014 season the Serbian midfielder was on Olympiakos’ radar and he soon joined the Greek giants.
Milivojevic quickly established himself as a first-team regular at Olympiakos, but in January, 2017 the club chiefs decided to sell him to Premier League side Crystal Palace. It has to be noted that the Serbia international scored two goals in 14 appearances for the Eagles in the 2016/2017 Premier League campaign.
