Spurs Web prediction for Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
Thomas Frank remains under pressure and is running the risk of his side being drawn into a relegation battle, particularly as Spurs only have a four-point buffer over 17th-place Nottingham Forest.
A defeat on Sunday could see the Lilywhites drop as low as 15th at the halfway point of the season, which is not where they will want to be at this stage.
However, the gap between Tottenham and the top eight is not a huge one, and a win could see them close the gap on eighth-placed Crystal Palace to just a single point.
The Eagles currently sit on 26 points, but their own inconsistent form suggests that they are vulnerable if Tottenham Hotspur can find their clinical edge in the final third.
Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Tottenham
