Tottenham host Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, October 31 (1:30 PM ET / 12:30 PM CT / 10:30 AM PT).
Tottenham’s team news is dominated by absences: suspended Rodrigo Bentancur joins knee-injury outs Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Lucas Bergvall, while ankle-injury victim Mykhailo Mudryk and Savio Moreira de Oliveira are also unavailable, with doubt Destiny Udogie, doubt Oluwatosin Adarabioyo and doubt James Maddison all needing checks before kickoff. Spurs should still lean on striker Omar Marmoush and attacking midfielder Mathys Tel to lead the attack, with defender Jan Paul van Hecke dangerous at set pieces. Crystal Palace arrive without the injured Chadi Riad Dnanou, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Quinten Timber, with goalkeeper doubt Dean Henderson and striker doubt Jorgen Strand Larsen also needing checks; midfielder Tyrick Mitchell remains their most reliable attacking outlet.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Signal’s model lands on a 1-0 win for Tottenham, a scoreline that fits both teams’ profiles — Spurs have 9 points from 8 games against Palace’s 7 points from 7 and -8 goal difference. Expect a tense, low-event match with few clear sights of goal, Omar Marmoush or Mathys Tel the most likely to provide the moment of quality, and Tottenham the clear favourites to see it through by a single goal.
