Spurs have only won one of their past three Premier League games and were defeated 2-1 by Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their most recent league game.

Crystal Palace are currently 13th in the Premier League table with a return of 28 points from their 26 matches so far. On the road, Crystal Palace are winless in eight matches in all competitions.
Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace: head-to-head
Overall Spurs have a solid recent record against Crystal Palace, losing just one of their past ten league games. The reverse fixture at Selhurst Park earlier this season ended 2-1 in the visitors’ favour.
The corresponding fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season was won by Spurs, a first-half Harry Kane strike clinched a 1-0 win.
Betting tips
Opposing managers, Ange Postecoglu and Oliver Glasner both possess a very attack-minded philosophy and that playing style almost guarantees us goals in North London on Saturday. Don’t expect too much defensive solidity on Saturday, over 2.5 match goals seems an inevitability at 1/2.
Both teams have scored in Spurs’ last seven Premier League games whilst the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has not seen a Premier League clean sheet since October 23rd. On Saturday, both teams to score looks a very shrewd betting selection at 4/6.
Son Heung-min was on target in the reverse fixture back in October and the Spurs captain has an excellent record against Crystal Palace. In 15 previous matches against Saturday’s opponents, Son has scored eight goals and assisted a further two. You can back Son Heung-min at 19/20 to score at any time on Saturday or alternatively he is priced at 7/2 to score first.
