Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs face a fixture congestion problem as they continue to fight on three fronts. They are 20 points off the pace in the Premier League which has forced their hand to concentrate on Champions League qualification whilst they remain in the FA Cup and Champions League. They will be fully aware of the threats Palace pose, especially with home support behind them.

Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have been one of the form teams in the division – only losing three times in their last 16 Premier League matches (both to Arsenal) and they have climbed to 15th in the table as a result. Such was their disastrous start to the campaign, that they still only sit 1 point above the relegation zone and are very much in relegation contention. Luka Milivojevic is a central figure for Palace and his 7 goals so far this season have been crucial in their resurgence under Roy Hodgson.
Tottenham
Tottenham sit in 5th place in the Premier League, 1 point outside of the Champions League places with 11 league games still to play and recent wins over Arsenal and Manchester United have lifted the mood at Wembley. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been in sensational form in the Champions League this season having picked up a 2-2 draw in Juventus but they were checked back against Rochdale in the FA Cup. Harry Kane has scored a staggering 34 goals in all competitions this term and the England man simply cannot stop scoring.
Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Head to Head
Tottenham dominate the head with a comprehensive 27:11 whilst another 13 games have ended as draws between the two teams. Tottenham pinched the points back in early November thanks to a second half Son Heung-Min strike to clinch a 1-0 win.
