Emerson rumbles a Palace participant and overturns possession, with Porro and Maddison ushering the ball by way of the centre of the pitch.

Maddison units up Emerson on the sting of the field, and his optimistic strike is scuffed. Porro tries to be the hero with the stays, nevertheless it’s blocked out for a throw.

Issues could possibly be going from unhealthy to worse right here. Play is but to renew because the physios are likely to Mitchell.

The injury-struck membership then swaps him for Clyne, and Hughes is traded for Ahamada.

A phenomenal purpose, an an embodiment of Postecoglou’s inventive, vicious play – Maddison dances the ball into the field, earlier than sending a cut-back to Johnson.

Johnson is neat and tidy discovering Son on the run, and he is laser-focused – a lot for Palace to do now!

Tottenham are wanting supremely in management now, however Palace look to shatter their consolation as they win a throw deep within the Spurs half.

Little comes of it, nonetheless.

The Selhurst Park trustworthy are getting stressed, whistling Tottenham’s sustained posession as they paddle the ball round, planning their subsequent transfer calmly.

First by way of: two modifications, as Richarlison and Bissouma are swapped for Johnson and Hojbjerg.

However Spurs have their breakthrough, courtesy of a deeply unfortunate personal purpose from Ward!

The ball falls to Maddison within the field, and he makes an attempt to cross to his team-mate – however the ball ricochets off the Palace captain’s toe!

A depressing one for the house aspect.

Antipodean animation within the dugout as Postecoglou is heard bellowing ’do not wait! do not wait!’ as Emerson seems to sneak out of his personal half.

Kulusevski takes heed and races to maintain a ball in play excessive up on the correct. Profitable it, his ensuing tussle sees Palace win a throw-in deep in their very own half.

After an early spell of Tottenham wanting full of life, Edouard seems to interrupt on the run, however he is introduced down effectively halfway into the Spurs half.

Postecoglou heralds his second-half intentions with a change on the break: Emerson Royal comes on for Davies.

Davies struggled within the first-half to duplicate what Udogie has been offering for Spurs this season – let’s examine if Emerson can bridge the hole.

The swap has negated the necessity for the Premier League high-flyers to put money into a like-for-like alternative for his or her all-time high scorer.

A really robust first-half from the house aspect, who look well-drilled and stuffed with spirit.

Tottenham do not have to fret but, nonetheless, solely work out how one can break them down extra totally within the second-half. No trigger for concern but – however Postecoglou may have his eye on elevated firepower after the break.

We’ll have two minutes of added time.

Spurs lastly get themselves out of nook limbo and win a goalkick to shuffle play up the pitch.

However the crowd are behind Palace in full voice, and the house aspect have the momentum. They hold Spurs pinned of their half, forcing Vicario out of his field to try to power themselves ahead.

Hughes sends within the subsequent from the correct for Vicario to punch out, however to not security.

When the ball flies again to the field, Hughes is within the throng to almost head it previous Vicario, however he cannot fairly get on track.

One other nook to Palace! This time, it lands out with Ward, who strikes at purpose. A deflection… and one other nook.

Maddison practically will get a superb opportunity to fireplace at Johnstone after he picks up a cute fast go on the high of the D. Solely robust defending from Lerma buddles him off steadiness and sees his try go large.

One other nook for Palace, who Tottenham cannot fairly subdue. Hughes sends within the left-handed nook which shoots again to Doucoure. Palace hold maintain of posession, earlier than profitable one other one.

No let up for the guests but.

The nook is caught cleanly by Vicario, however Palace haven’t any much less of their intent after a few stoppages.

On the different finish, Richarlison sends a high-quality ball throughout the field to Kulusevski on the correct, however he is tracked carefully by Mitchell, and has to ship the ball again for Tottenham to come back once more.

Van de Ven will get his personal refrain of boos as he limps to the aspect, however his stony face suggests they may be much less deserved. Hopefully he’ll be rejoining the motion quickly.

His re-entrance, when it comes, turns Selhurst Park right into a veritable haunted home with all of the jeers from the house crowd.

He is instantly known as into motion, protecting an open-mouthed Ben Davies who loses sight of a sprinting Ayew. Van de Ven reaches the ball on the sting of the field and punts it out for a nook.

Edouard’s on the centre of issues once more, this time after neatly upturning Van de Ven with a knock to his knee. Van de Ven seems completely depressing, and can also be clutching his face.

Might or not it’s greater than the problem? He seems fairly distressed because the physios make their means onto the pitch.

Maddison performs a wild card, sending a long-range try in direction of Johnstone’s purpose, however the goalkeeper can collect it up with out risk.

Tottenham could also be conserving Palace’s backline busy, however I might say Vicario has had the extra making an attempt night time up to now.

Romero goes down, clutching his face, after encountering Edouard’s shoulder. The contact despatched him flying, however Romero may need been a bit of stagey within the aftermath.

His reward is getting booed each time he touches the ball.

Maddison is on a tear, blasting a cross into the field that’s unfortunate to strike a Palace participant and streak out. Granted a second likelihood, he seems to run his means into the field, however discovering his route cluttered, palms off to Kulusevski on the correct.

Ultimately, Richarlison’s ball is knocked out for a Palace throw. The house aspect waste no time taking off in a counter, Schlupp linking properly with Edouard, earlier than they’re shut down on the sting of the Spurs field.

Hughes sends a properly curving ball into the field, the place a wealth of cries go up for handball. It did strike Richarlison’s arm, however solely within the melee, and off a Tottenham head. VAR agrees.

Seeking to break the impasse, Sarr units off on a blistering run into the field, however funks his cross in slapstick style, tripping over his personal ft as he makes an attempt to kick the ball. The house aspect as appreciative as you may think.

Schlupp has his pocket picked by Porro, however attempt as he may, he cannot win the ball again and Spurs can shut down a budding Palace assault.

Spurs wrestle again management of the sport’s tempo, however they can not inch ahead as a result of Ayew swipes the ball in his personal half and heads off. His run is dropped at a crashing holt, however Palace can acquire floor with the following freekick.

Palace have been peppy, and throughout their opponents up to now. However their pinball play nonetheless will get them deep into Palace’s half, with Richarlison passing neatly to a working Maddison, who feeds proper again to him to make the shot.

The Brazilian’s try is sort of wild and whippy, however the build-up was spectacular.

Kulusevski slings a diagonal go to Richarlison sprinting to the far submit, and he miraculously stays on the pitch to move the ball right down to Maddison in entrance of purpose.

However the angle is incorrect, and the ball can solely curl out of play because it bounces inopportunely.

Maddison is subsequent to go to grown, rocking and grabbing his heels. He is been caught unconfortably by Ward, who will get snarled within the inclined participant.

Freekick Spurs. Maddison’s up, and having shaken himself off, needs the freekick from simply forward of the D.

He cannot struggle off Bissouma, nonetheless, who lofts it properly over the crossbar.

Ayew picks up a handsome excessive ball and flies off down the correct, seeking to arrange a team-mate within the field. He stops sorter than any may need favored, and his punted cross flies straight to the grasp of Vicario.

A would-be Tottenham assault in response is thwarted by Kulusevski fouling Lerma.

A primary good likelihood for Tottenham! Courtesy of who else however Maddison, who sprints in from the left to ship a knife-like cross. However Crystal Palace are proper within the firing line, and might squirt the ball away from hazard for Johnstone to shortly collect up.

Within the midfield, Van de Ven goes down briefly, however is up in a flash moments later.

The Premier League outlawed bringing both Israel or Palestine’s flag to their fixtures, and Tottenham additionally provided a selected plea earlier than they confronted Fulham.

However regardless of the guests’ dominance, Palace are the primary to check the goalkeeper, and Vicario has to stretch to disclaim Ayew from the correct.

Hughes did a wonderful job sparking a fast counter-attack, and just some punchy tempo from Van de Ven stored issues underneath wraps.

Palace win a freekick, and once more have the chance to check Vicario, who sprawls to assemble up the ball. Issues are wanting livelier now!

Palace are working laborious however they’re but to have the barest sniff of the ball. Sarr surges down the correct, seeking to join with Richarlison, however the service is not fairly proper, and Johnstone can roll the ball out.

`Andersen seems for a route down the correct, however Tottenham are too fast, and in a flash, they’ve whipped the ball away and Maddison is setting off threateningly, seeking to be fed.

Tottenham look sparky from the beginning as they transfer the ball about their backline. Edouard places a white-shirted defender underneath a bit of stress, however there is not any sloppy footing from Spurs as they plot their route ahead.

An extended, looping ball destinied for Maddison excessive up within the Palace half, nonetheless, results in Johnstone’s paws on the sting of the field.

Earlier than issues get underway, we have now a interval of silence for these affected by the disaster in Israel and Gaza – that is… fairly well-observed, with any early dissenting voices drowned out by loud shushes.

There’s then a minute of applause in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton and Everton chairman Invoice Kenwright.

Then it is guests who get us underway – let’s go!

’I am assured they may (be taught from final week’s defeat). These video games do occur. It gave us lots to speak about this week.

’However Newcastle, like Tottenham, are high high opponents.

’(Nonetheless) we’re wanting ahead to tonight.’

It stays a sporting sacrilege to counsel Spurs are a greater aspect with out Harry Kane. It will even be a simplistic and perverse failure to understand how the Bayern Munich striker would improve any workforce on the planet.

And but, counterintuitively, every week is providing strengthened proof that each events have dealt with the cut up awfully properly. Solely a type of was to be anticipated.

On becoming a member of Spurs and his robust begin within the Premier League:

’In fact, Premier League is the very best degree. It is tough to say when you suppose at first if you are going to make it.

’It is actually unusual that I play within the Premier League each week, however the workforce is ideal.’

On his budding relationship with Cristian Romero:

’He is a tremendous participant on the pitch and off the pitch.

’After I got here right here he was there for me, and he helps me.’

On taking part in out from the again as a part of Postecoglou’s system:

’I feel my tempo is de facto necessary. I feel that helps us with urgent increased.’

’I feel it is going to be a extremely tough recreation. They wish to show everybody incorrect. It is our job to play our recreation, and hopefully get the three factors.’

The venerable supervisor will earn himself fairly the milestone on the last whistle this night – tonight is the five hundredth accountable for an English membership in all competitions.

As per BBC Sport, he has a considerably rocky time with these landmark ties. His a centesimal and 2 hundredth had been losses – however three hundredth and four-hundredth had been in a position to put a smile again on his face.

Can Selhurst Park roar his aspect to victory tonight?

Final outing, the Eagles obtained an unwelcome drubbing from Newcastle on the street.

On the lookout for an on the spot response, the Eleventh-placed aspect have not messed an excessive amount of with the formulation, making just one change from final weekend’s workforce.

Jeffrey Schlupp is accessible as soon as once more after getting back from harm, which pushes Jean-Philippe Mateta to the bench.

On arriving late at Selhurst Park, Postecoglou is cool as a cucumber as he says that it does not faze Spurs as ’we’re fairly properly organised.’

On a powerful begin to the season:

’Our performances have been good. we have been fairly constant. That is the encouraging bit for me.

’(However) we have to enhance.

’If we have had start line, we have now to push on.

On swapping Davies for Udogie:

’I feel each participant brings their very own qualities. Ben’s a special participant to Future, however the construction will keep the identical.

’You try to present a framework the place – while you’ve obtained the ball, what’s essentially the most improtant factor, we have to seek out some area.

’I try to present there’s a variety of freedom on the market, however I nonetheless attempt to be the puppetmaster.’

Simply two modifications for Tottenham from the aspect that confronted off with Fulham on Monday, because the suspended Yves Bissouma slips proper again into the beginning XI.

He and Ben Davies step in for Future Udogie and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, with the latter dropping to the bench. Udogie’s absence because of sickness may but be a pointy loss for the guests.

Guglielmo Vicario has the very best save share of all Premier League goalkeepers, whereas he additionally has essentially the most clear sheets.

At 27, he’s the No 1 at a high European membership, whereas he has additionally allowed Spurs supporters to overlook about Hugo Lloris, who has held that place for the previous decade.

Ought to Postecoglou’s aspect get issues carried out at Selhurst Park this night, they’ll shore up their maintain on the high of the desk 5 factors forward of their closest rivals.

In the event that they funk it, nonetheless, their time on the Premier League summit could possibly be short-lived – Man Metropolis, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all inside three factors of the north London aspect, and will probably be wanting to see the top of the workforce’s unbeaten document.

Unbeaten Spurs may go 5 factors clear on Friday and the temper across the membership is so upbeat and particularly celebratory post-match he joked ‘most golf equipment wish to flip their grounds right into a fortress – ours is turning into a nightclub’.

However reasonably than exhibiting off his dancing ft Postecoglou is conserving them firmly on the bottom.

Howdy and welcome to Mail Sport’s dwell protection of Tottenham’s journey to Selhurst Park to satisfy Crystal Palace.

Kick-off is at 8pm, however stick round as we carry you all of the dwell workforce information and build-up over the following hour and a half.
