Tottenham host Crystal Palace in the Premier League in a bid to close the gap between themselves and the top four. Spurs go into the match in fifth place, five points behind Aston Villa in fourth, while Crystal Palace have climbed the table since their win over Burnley and look more comfortable in 13th place, four behind Fulham.

Spurs were handed a boost with the return of Destiny Udogie, but were struck with the news that Richarlison faced three to four weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Crystal Palace manager made one change from his first game in charge - a win over Burnley. The new manager has Eberechi Eze fit for the first time since January, with Odsonne Edouard dropping to the bench.

WIDE!!! Spurs hit straight back after their corner is punched clear by Johnstone, and Bissouma finds Son on the edge of the box. He turns to get beyond Andersen and strikes a left-footed shot goalwards, but drags his effort across the face of goal and wide of the far post!!!

Emerson slips Johnson in behind the defence with a pass into the right-hand side of the box, but Johnson's attempted cutback towards Son is put behind by Richards.

Spurs have come back from the depths to win three of the four home games they've gone 1-0 down in so far this season - including an extra-time double against Sheffield United - but will need to produce a response sooner rather than later if they're to rescue any points at all here.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace

Romero remains forward after a Tottenham corner is half-cleared, and is the target of another ball into the box from Kulusevski. The Argentinian gets his head to the ball, but can't generate any power or direction behind his effort and it's an easy one for Johnstone to collect.
