Crystal Palace will host their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at 2 PM (UK time) on Sunday, October 27th, at Selhurst Park. Unfortunately for UK viewers, the match will not be broadcast live; however, highlights will be available later on Match of the Day 2, airing on BBC2 at 10:30 PM. A Crucial London Derby This encounter is crucial for Crystal Palace, who are in dire need of points.
They face a formidable Tottenham side that is currently enjoying a positive run of form. The Eagles have struggled significantly this season, failing to secure a win in any of their eight Premier League matches, leaving them in the relegation zone with just three points from a possible 24. Palace’s latest setback came on Monday night when they lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.
A mistake from goalkeeper Dean Henderson allowed Chris Wood’s long-range strike to find the net. Despite efforts from Eberechi Eze and Eddie Nketiah, both of whom struck the woodwork, the team continues to struggle under the guidance of manager Oliver Glasner, who has yet to replicate the form seen during his appointment last season. Tottenham’s Recent Form On the other side, Tottenham comes into this match off a Europa League victory on Thursday night, where they fielded a largely changed lineup and secured a 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar.
This result helped them maintain a perfect record in the tournament and propelled them to second place in their group. The Lilywhites have won seven of their last eig.
