Crystal Palace-Tottenham is a match for the nineteenth day of the Premier League and is played on Wednesday at 21:00: predictions.
The Champions League zone for Tottenham has moved away and by a long way too. Antonio Conte’s side are now fifth in the table and five points behind fourth-placed Manchester United. This is because, at the resumption of the Premier League, Spurs have only picked up one point in two matches.
A draw at Brentford before the heavy home defeat against Aston Villa with Llorris’ duck. Immediately after this game Conte, for the umpteenth time, vented himself in front of the cameras, asking for reinforcements in January and above all making it clear that he was not able to ask more from this group. Words that did not go down well with anyone in London, so much so that now, according to the English bookmakers, Conte is one of the most at risk of being exonerated in the entire league. Not an easy situation to handle with the feeling that a lot will come down to the match against Crystal Palace. In any case, with his contract expiring at the end of the season and with a renewal on the cards, a farewell at the end of this season seems likely at best.
Vieira’s hosts, on the other hand, have resumed the championship well: Yes, against Fulham came a defeat, but then the negative result was immediately put behind them by the away victory on the field of Bournemouth. A quiet classification for the troop led by the French coach, who are playing free of any mental nagging. And that could certainly be important for the future.

The Prediction
Of the fact that this match could give at least one goal per team there is very little doubt. The defensive tightness of Conte’s team, which usually builds success in the back, is not that of past seasons. Now, as the match has an enormous value for Spurs, it is normal to think that the visiting troop will give their all to bring home the entire stake. And in the end it should do it too.
Crystal Palace v Tottenham likely line-ups
- CRYSTAL PALACE (4-3-3): Guaita; Clyne, Guehi, Andersen, Ward; Olise, Doucoure, Schlupp; Ayew, Zaha, Eze.
