Crystal Palace unwillingly became participants of another anti-record. For the first time in the history of the Premier League after nine rounds, four teams have no wins. The Eagles have three defeats in a row. The hosts’ attack looks quite sad – five goals in eight rounds. In the last four rounds, Crystal Palace have just one goal.
After the international break, Tottenham confidently defeated West Ham, and then easily took three points from AZ in the Europa League. They simply demonstrate their real level and familiar game with all its strengths and weaknesses. Often Spurs play bright and adventurous, some of their opponents managed to punish them for it.
Apart from the home field and not the worst defense, Crystal Palace have nothing to oppose Tottenham. The guests are not in perfect shape, but recently they have been beating weaker opponents with confidence.
