Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 May 6, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur are in desperate need of a win as they host Crystal Palace in a Premier League fixture on Saturday.
Spurs would have been left disappointed as they suffered a 4-3 defeat at Liverpool in their previous Premier League fixture. Having fought back from three goals down to draw level thanks to an injury-time equaliser from Richarlison, they still managed to concede a late winner.
That result means Tottenham Hotspur are now winless in their last four Premier League matches, suffering three defeats in that run. However, while the loss at Anfield was disappointing, manager Ryan Mason will be pleased with the second half performance and will demand a similar display from the start on Saturday.
It us not all doom and gloom for Tottenham Hotspur as they have maintained a solid record lately, with just one defeat in their last seven Premier League matches in front of their fans. They have claimed five wins in that run, seeing off the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Brighton along the way.
Crystal Palace are also coming off a seven-goal thriller, although unlike Spurs, they came out victorious in the end. Goals from Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Ayew, Jeffery Schlupp and Eberechi Eze gave them a 4-3 victory over West Ham in their previous fixture.
The result highlights a fine turnaround for Crystal Palace since the return of manager Roy Hodgson as they have only lost once in their last six matches. They have claimed four wins in that run and are now just five points off the top 10.
While things have undoubtedly improved for Crystal Palace lately, they still find things a bit difficult on their travels. They have won just twice in their last nine Premier League matches the road, suffering six defeats in that run, including a 2-0 loss at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous fixture away from home.
