The numbers

  • Spurs' last league wins: vs Coventry, at Chelsea
  • Last time Spurs won three straight league games: February 2025
  • Last time Spurs won back-to-back home league games: November 2024
  • Palace's last league results: two straight defeats (aiming to avoid a third)

Pressure on Sage

Pierre Sage remains under pressure at Crystal Palace despite a midweek Carabao Cup fourth-round win at Fulham. The Frenchman guided his side to that much-needed boost, but their Premier League form is frightening: two consecutive defeats have left them hovering above the relegation zone. A third straight loss would intensify scrutiny.

Palace travel to north London knowing a positive result could relieve some of the mounting pressure. The cup win at Fulham showed they can compete, but the league is the priority. Sage will need his players to be organised and resilient against a Spurs side growing in confidence.

Spurs' revival

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham have won back-to-back league games for the first time since November 2024. The win over Coventry was followed by an impressive and rare victory at Chelsea last Saturday. That result has some believing Spurs may have turned a corner. A win tonight would be their first three consecutive league wins since February 2025 and would further ease doubts.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been a house of horrors for Spurs in recent years, but back-to-back home league wins would be a significant step. De Zerbi will demand the same intensity that brought the Chelsea win. The key will be breaking down a Palace side likely to sit deep and frustrate.

Talking points

  • Is Spurs' win at Chelsea a true turning point or just a flash in the pan? Tonight's performance will offer a clearer answer.
  • Pierre Sage's future hinges on league results, not cup runs. A third straight defeat could be decisive.
  • Palace's league form is alarming, but they beat Fulham in midweek. Can they translate cup momentum into league points?
  • Spurs have struggled at home for two years. Can they finally make the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a fortress again?
