Tottenham Hotspur
Roberto De Zerbi has received a welcome fitness boost ahead of Tottenham's meeting with Crystal Palace. James Maddison is available despite being substituted early in the second half of last weekend's 2-0 victory at Chelsea, while Destiny Udogie can also return after missing two matches. The manager remains cautious about Maddison's workload following his previous injury problems. Tottenham's performance at Stamford Bridge offered further encouragement, with De Zerbi praising his team's mentality and their control of possession. An own goal from Mike Penders and a late individual effort from Mathys Tel secured the victory.
De Zerbi could retain much of the side that started against Chelsea. Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke are expected to continue in central defence, with Andrew Robertson on the left and Archie Gray competing with Pedro Porro on the right. Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes offer continuity in midfield. Conor Gallagher is a candidate to replace Maddison if the playmaker is not risked from the start. Mohammed Kudus and Tel should provide attacking width, while Omar Marmoush and Dominic Solanke compete for the central attacking role.
