Tottenham – who are currently at the top of the Premier League table – looks to maintain their position this weekend they take on Crystal Palace. The match schedules for Saturday at Selhurst Park, with kickoff at 2:30 pm.
Before the international break, Nuno Espirito managed a 1-0 victory over Watford to climb to the top of the table. On the other hand, they rescued a point in their last clash that ended with a 2-2 West Ham United.
Crystal Palace had only one point after facing Chelsea and Brentford in the first two weeks of their season. After they played West Ham, however, things were looking up for them since it was a game that could get them closer to winning more points by putting on an exciting performance before halftime came around.
Optimism was high for Patrick Vieira’s new-look Palace side in the capital, although his 14th placed team must now face Spurs, Liverpool, and Leicester City all in the space of five weeks.
Spurs’ solid start to the season continued as they took another three points against Watford, with Son Heung-min’s fortuitous free-kick proving enough for victory.
Spurs have had a very successful summer so far. They managed to convince Harry Kane not to move, and they are currently the only team in the league with three consecutive wins after their first matches this season.
