Tottenham Hotspur Aims for Third Consecutive Win Against Crystal Palace This Saturday
Tottenham Hotspur will look to secure their third consecutive victory after a challenging start to the Premier League season, as they host Crystal Palace and their struggling manager Pierre Sage on Saturday at 1:30 pm ET.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team has shown significant improvement recently, scoring five goals in their last two matches compared to just three goals in their first six games combined. This turnaround coincides with the return of James Maddison to the starting lineup. Maddison faced concerns about his fitness following Spurs’ narrow win away to Chelsea, but he has avoided serious injury and will be available to face Palace. Left back Destiny Udogie, who missed the previous two matches due to a minor knee injury, is also set to return.
In contrast, Crystal Palace is grappling with a difficult situation after suffering two consecutive defeats, facing Brighton and Newcastle with an aggregate score of 7-0. While there have been discussions about potential changes in management, Sage has received a brief vote of confidence and time to rectify the team’s poor performance. Compounding their troubles, star winger Ismaila Sarr will be absent until at least the November international break.
