Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace tonight, aiming to end a 10-match winless run and secure their first Premier League victory of the calendar year.The Lilywhites have moved into a critical phase of their season, currently sitting 16th and just four points clear of the relegation zone. Manager Igor Tudor oversaw a disappointing 2–1 loss to Fulham on Sunday and is now desperate to avoid becoming the first manager since 2004 to lose his first two matches in charge of the club. Notably, Spurs have won 16 of their last 21 Premier League meetings with Palace, though they have lost two of the last three encounters.Tottenham Hotspur team newsIgor Tudor manages a squad still missing nine senior players through injury and suspension. Notably, Djed Spence remains a doubt with a calf problem, which could force a reshuffle on the wings. Consequently, teenage midfielder Archie Gray could be asked to fill a versatile role in a 3-4-2-1 system. Notably, Conor Gallagher has a prolific record against tonight’s opponents, having scored more goals against Palace (4) than any other side. Fans are also calling for Mathys Tel to be handed his first start after his energetic cameo at Craven Cottage.Guglielmo Vicario will start in goal behind a back three featuring Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Radu Drăgușin. In midfield, João Palhinha and Pape Matar Sarr are expected to anchor the side, with Pedro Porro returning to the right flank. Xavi Simons will look to provide the creative spark behind a front two of Richarlison and Mathys Tel. Notably, Spurs are winless in their last 12 midweek Premier League games, a trend Tudor must break to prevent his side from being cut adrift.Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineupTottenham Hotspur Predicted XI (3-4-1-2): Vicario; Danso, Van de Ven, Dragusin; Porro, Sarr, Palhinha, Gray; Simons; Tel, RicharlisonWhen will the match kick off?The Premier League fixture takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, 5 March 2026.
