Crystal Palace vs Tottenham: Live Premier League Score and Goal Updates
Tottenham's victory over Fulham puts them at the top of the Premier League, but manager Ange Postecoglou is disappointed with the second-half performance. They will face Crystal Palace next.
Spurs have made an impressive start to their league campaign, their best since 1960-61, and they continued their winning streak with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on Monday night. Goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison secured the win, propelling Ange Postecoglou's side back to the top of the standings.
This victory also saw Postecoglou set a Premier League record, as he has now accumulated 23 points from his first nine games in charge. However, despite the win, the Australian manager expressed his disappointment with Tottenham's second-half performance.
Looking ahead, Tottenham will be aiming to maintain their high standards as they prepare to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Palace suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Newcastle in their previous match, so they will be eager to bounce back.
In terms of team news, Postecoglou has made two changes from the Fulham game. Bissouma returns after serving a suspension, while Davies has also been brought in. Sarr, who picked up a minor injury in the previous match, retains his place. Hojbjerg and Bentancur start on the bench, with Bentancur returning from an ACL injury. Unfortunately, Destiny Udogie is unavailable due to injury.
On the other side, Roy Hodgson makes just one change to the Palace lineup. Schlupp is fit again and starts, which means Edouard takes on a more central role. Mateta is named as a substitute.
Spurs currently sit two points clear at the top of the table, ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal. A win in this match would extend their lead to five points. They have been unbeaten in the Premier League this season, winning seven and drawing two. However, it's worth noting that the two games in which they dropped points were both away matches.
For Hodgson, this is his 500th game in charge of an English club. He will be hoping to guide his side to a much-needed victory, as Palace have only won one of their last six matches in all competitions. During this run, they have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just two goals and failing to score in four of those games.
