The Eagles lost a heartbreaker in PKs to Arsenal mid-week in the Carabao Cup – their third straight defeat across all competitions.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Analysis

Despite losing their best player in Eberechi Eze, Palace have put together a very impressive campaign. Oliver Glasner has guided this side to a 7-5-5 record, which puts them in eighth place. The Eagles are also just three points out of fourth place, and playing Champions League football next term is still a possibility, although there’s a lot of time left in the season. However, Palace have hit a tough run of form, and they are in dire need of a victory.

While the Eagles put up an impressive fight against the Gunners in the EFL Cup, it marked their third straight defeat in England. Manchester City embarrassed them a couple of weeks ago, before Leeds United ran riot on Palace on matchday 17 with a 4-1 victory. The Eagles have unfortunately played a lot better on the road as well, compiling a 5-1-3 record compared to a 2-4-2 mark at Selhurst Park.

Spurs are in shambles once again, and Thomas Frank’s job is definitely at risk, with a clear disconnect between the manager and the players. After a 17th-place finish last term, 2025-26 isn’t going much better, as Tottenham is in 14th with a 6-4-7 record. However, not all is lost quite yet, as the table is incredibly tight. Just seven points separate Spurs and fifth-place Liverpool. A string of positive results could quickly shoot Tottenham into the top half of the standings.

However, that’s easier said than done. Frank’s squad has lost three straight Premier League matches, and they’ve also grabbed just two wins in their previous 10 games across all competitions. A lack of consistency has been the storyline of the campaign for the North London outfit. Their lack of success against Palace over the last year isn’t exactly a great sign ahead of a crucial fixture, either.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Picks

Spurs have looked completely helpless for most of this season. While Palace’s form has taken a dip, they just gave Arsenal a serious run for their money, and the hosts will be coming into this clash with a point to prove. The Eagles will win this one.
