Spurs' Woes Continue: Can Palace Strike Back?

Tottenham Hotspur aims to reverse their recent fortunes as they prepare to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League, Spurs have suffered two consecutive losses, intensifying pressure on manager Thomas Frank. The squad is significantly depleted, with Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero suspended, while Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Further absences include Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, and Dejan Kulusevski due to injuries.

Crystal Palace, despite a strong season under Oliver Glasner, also contend with a stretched squad. They will be without Daichi Kamada and Daniel Munoz due to injuries. Eddie Nketiah and Chris Richards are doubts with knocks, and Ismaila Sarr is participating in AFCON. The team's defensive options might be further impacted by a potential lineup change for Lacroix following recent errors.
