Tottenham v Crystal Palace: Premier League – live

Key events3m agoHere we go51m agoTeam news1h agoPreamble3 mins: If Palace can get a point here, then Manchester United will drop into the bottom three. And as long as the visitors are level, United are in there provisionally.2 mins: Palace have the league’s leakiest defence, and are particularly vulnerable in the early stages. Tottenham win an early corner, but nothing comes from it.Here we goPalace kick off and play back to Henderson, while four players charge forward to try and meet his clearance downfield. It doesn’t work.Before we begin, there will be a minute’s silence, plus the Last Post, to mark Remembrance Day.This is a north-south London derby, but Google Maps tells me it takes an hour and a half to go from Selhurst Park to here on public transport. Are there any longer away trips to a venue in the same city? Maybe a question for the Knowledge.Here’s Roberto De Zerbi, who leaves James Maddison on the bench – “James is very important for us – when he feels good, he plays” – and starts Dominic Solanke up front. “I think Omar Marmoush can play in behind, he has often played behind another striker,” he adds. “We have to keep the right spirit and mentality – a few days ago, we were last in the table and we must not forget it.”Here are today’s Premier League results so far:Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United Bournemouth 2-0 Leeds Brentford 2-0 Nottm Forest Coventry 3-1 Sunderland Hull City 2-2 Ipswich Manchester City 0-1 BrightonTeam newsTottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Gray, van Hecke, van de Ven, Robertson; Fernandes, Tonali; Kudus, Marmoush, Tel; Solanke. Subs: Dubravka, Senesi, Gallagher, Maddison, Udogie, Kulusevski, Porro, Davies, Williams-Barnet.Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Disasi, Canvot; Mingueza, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; McNeil, Pino; Mateta. Subs: Benitez, Lerma, Nketiah, Hughes, Osorio, Khalaili, Doucoure, Guessand, Chilwell.Referee: Michael Oliver.PreambleBy recent standards, it’s been a very successful fortnight for Spurs. Two Premier League wins on the bounce have lifted Roberto De Zerbi’s side up the table, and they can now also lay claim to having developed the best men’s footballer in the world.Harry Kane usually enjoyed games against Crystal Palace, scoring 11 goals in 20 appearances against the Eagles. Palace have won on their last two visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though, including a hellish 3-1 defeat in March that left Spurs staring into the abyss.Tottenham are seeking a trouble-free victory today as proof that those dark days are finally behind them. Defeat for Palace, meanwhile, could push them closer to the trapdoor and pile pressure on Pierre Sage. Kick-off: 5.30pm GMT.
