Tottenham welcome Crystal Palace in North London tonight, looking to continue his recent improvement with Roberto De Zerbi.
Spurs suffered a miserable start Premier League season, they couldn’t win any of their first six games, but since then they’ve turned things around with back-to-back wins.
A 3-1 success against Coventry City was followed by a stunning 2-0 win at home to Chelsea last weekend, Tottenham’s first league win at Stamford Bridge since 2018.
These results have lifted De Zerbi’s side to 14th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone, and they hope to make it three league wins in a row for the first time since February 2025.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace arrive in north London under increasing pressure after a difficult start to life under Pierre Sage.
The Eagles sit 17th after losing five of their opening eight Premier League games and have conceded a league-high 19 goals.
The 5-0 defeat at rivals Brighton was followed by a 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle last weekend, although Palace returned to winning ways with a 1-0 success against Fulham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
