Tottenham vs Crystal Palace: match preview
Tottenham are currently enduring a disastrous run of form and recently changed their head coach. Igor Tudor replaced Thomas Frank and has won his first two matches in charge. The Spurs now sit 16th in the table with 29 points after 28 rounds. Their cushion above the relegation zone is just five points, leaving Tottenham in a precarious position. They are on a five-game winless streak, four of which have ended in defeat.
Crystal Palace are not in peak form either and occupy 14th place in the standings. After 28 matches, they have collected 35 points and hold a ten-point advantage over the drop zone. They were beaten 1–2 by Manchester United in their last outing, though that defeat followed two victories. The side is currently managed by Oliver Glasner, who is set to leave at the end of the season. Palace remain in contention in the Conference League and will face AEK Larnaca in the Round of 16.
