The pressure is slowly starting to increase on Oliver Glasner, as Crystal Palace have failed to reach the same heights as the end of last season in 2024-25.
The Eagles are still without a win in eight attempts in the Premier League this term, and dropped further into trouble last week with a third straight defeat suffered at the hands of Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham will be the visitors to Selhurst Park on Sunday. Spurs have won three of their last four matches, and bounced back to form in excellent style with a dominant 4-1 win over West Ham last Saturday.
Odds
Tottenham will be the clear favorites in the Premier League for their trip to Selhurst Park on Sunday. A home win for Palace is an eye-catching price at +305.

Crystal Palace Team News
Injuries aren’t an excuse that Glasner can use at this stage of the season. Cheick Doucoure is the only usual starter missing due to injury, but he could be fit enough to feature on Sunday.

Ange Postecoglou will only be without Wilson Odobert this weekend. Pape Matar Sarr could be handed a start on Sunday after impressing from the bench in the win over West Ham, while Rodrigo Bentancur could also be recalled.

Guglielmo Vicario (GK); Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, Heung Min Son
Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham Prediction
Palace have looked incredibly short of quality in the final third of the field so far this season following the departure of Michael Olise. Tottenham will always give their rival a chance, as they are typically prone to defensive mishaps.
However, given their quality in the final third, we could foresee Palace’s winless start to the season continuing on Sunday.
