Igor Tudor will look for his first win as Tottenham boss when they host Crystal Palace this Thursday, following defeats to Arsenal and Fulham.
Spurs’ current run of London derbies continues with the Eagles set to visit Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They have lost each of their last four Premier League games and are winless in their last 10. The relegation zone has gotten closer and closer – though teams below them haven’t been much better.
Tottenham may take hope from the fact that Crystal Palace themselves have struggled recently. With tensions rising between Oliver Glasner and the board, it has had an effect on the pitch as well.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace
Tottenham (3-4-2-1): Vicario; Danso, Ragusin, van de Ven; Porro, Gallagher, Palhinha, Gray; Tel, Simons, Richarlison.

Tottenham team news vs Crystal Palace
Cristian Romero will serve his fourth and final game of suspension here. Still, Tudor will have three fully fit centre-backs and may revert back to his preferred three-at-the-back set-up. Kevin Danso featured last time around against Fulham and could appear alongside Radu Dragusin and Micky van de Ven.
Richarlison and Mathys Tel impressed off the bench at Craven Cottage. Both could get the nod here as Tudor tries to change a few things in order to get a reaction.
Archie Gray may fill in on the left again as Djed Spence will be unavailable for selection. James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Rodrigo Bentancur and Ben Davies also remain out.
In case Tudor sticks with four defenders, Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani could feature upfront, as well as Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma in the middle of the park.

Spurs’ historically negative run
Tottenham haven’t won in 10 Premier League games, which is already their longest winless run since 1994 (also 10).
But they could also be on the brink of setting their longest losing streak in the league in over 20 years. It’s currently at four (Fulham, Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester United). In 2004, they lost six in a row between Jacques Santini’s and Martin Jol’s stints.
Spurs haven’t exactly had many issues historically against Crystal Palace. In Premier League history, they have won 20 games to the Eagles’ six – seven remaining draws.
But two of Palace’s wins have come in the last three match-ups – the last one in North London, in fact. Might not be the easiest opponent to bounce back from a tough run. Glasner’s men were leading at Old Trafford before a controversial decision awarded Man United the penalty and sent Maxence Lacroix off.
