Crystal Palace vs Tottenham: Team news 

Key men Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise remain out for Palace. 

They’re joined by Dean Henderson, James Tomkins and Nathan Ferguson on the sidelines. 

Jeffrey Schlupp is also carrying a knock and missed the defeat to Newcastle but he may be able to make a return on Friday. 

Tottenham will have Yves Bissouma back after he served his one-game suspension. 

The midfielder is expected to replace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the starting line-up depending on Pape Matar Sarr’s fitness. 

Sarr and Destiny Udogie were substituted against Fulham which raised injury fears, however, they are not likely to miss out. 

Brennan Johnson could start after returning from his knock but Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Bentacur continue their recoveries.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham: What has been said? 

James Maddison scored his first home goal of the season during Spurs’ win over Fulham and he has spoken about how that felt. 

He said; “It was amazing, a great feeling. I kept seeing that stat that all my goal contributions were away from home, so I’m delighted to put that one to bed.

“I always just try to play football the way I love to watch football. That’s how I’ve always played. I like to create, I like to excite people, create and score goals.

“The fans have taken to me well and I really appreciate it and it’s vice-versa, me to them, they’ve been brilliant to me, made me feel at home so quickly, so welcome and things like that don’t go unnoticed. 

“It helps me settle in so quickly and to hear them chanting my name was a heart-warming feeling.”
