Tottenham host struggling Crystal Palace chasing three straight wins
Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace in north London on Saturday evening looking to extend their winning momentum against an opponent struggling to find form.
Tottenham sit 14th on nine points after eight games, finding momentum after an uneven start. Under manager Roberto De Zerbi, Spurs have posted consecutive victories, following a 3-1 home win against Coventry with an impressive 2-0 triumph away at Chelsea. They are now targeting a third straight league victory, having won only one fewer match in the last ten days than in their previous 26 top-flight matches combined.
Crystal Palace sit 17th on seven points after eight matches under manager Pierre Sage. The Eagles have found their start challenging, arriving on the back of consecutive league defeats without scoring, including a 5-0 hammering away to Brighton. Palace will be desperate to stop their slide and lift pressure on Sage.
