Prediction: 0-1
Tottenham Hotspur
There will be fireworks when Crystal Palace and Tottenham face each other at Selhurt Park in the FA Cup round 4. The Eagles set up a meeting with Spurs by beating ten-man Grimsby Town at home ground, but Mauro Pochettino’s men are likely to pose a much bigger threat for the hosts than their previous rivals. Crystal Palace experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-3 loss to Liverpool at the weekend, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Tottenham are without key attacker Harry Kane, but Mauro Pochettino has a number of high-profile footballers to choose from who are likely to help the visitors make it to the fifth round of the FA Cup. In their last meeting at Selhurts Park Spurs emerged triumphant, with centre back Foyth scoring the only goal of the match.
Highlighted Player (Andros Townsend):
Andros Townsend is an English footballer who plays for Crystal Palace. He started his professional career at Tottenham Hotspur (2009), but he played for a number of English clubs on loan in the past (Yeovil Town, Leyton Orient, MK Dons, Ipswich Town, Watford, Millwall, Leeds United, Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers). On 26 January, 2016, Townsend signed a deal with Newcastle United for a fee of £12 million. However, following Newcastle’s relegation to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign, Andros joined Crystal Palace on a five-year contract as the Eagles decided to match his £13 million release clause. Andros Townsend plays as a winger and he made his England debut on 11 October, 2013. Back then England recorded a 4-1 win over Montenegro in the World Cup qualifiers. The Crystal Palace footballer was born in Leytonstone on 16 July, 1991 and he attended Rush Croft Sports College. Andros Townsend is a Tottenham Hotspur fan, but he couldn’t quite realise his potential while at White Hart Lane

Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1).
