Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham Hotspur travel to Selhurst Park in Sunday’s early Premier League kick-off needing to win to keep their top four hopes alive.
Spurs currently sit fifth but can temporarily leapfrog Chelsea with a win, ahead of their match with Manchester United. But Spurs will need to win without their first-choice defensive partnership of Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld. In their absence, Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier line up together in the heart of a four-man defence.
Crystal Palace have injuries of their own to worry about, leading to Roy Hodgson giving 20-year-old Aaron Wan-Bissaka a start. Jaïro Riedewald is also named in their starting XI.

Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
54: Harry Kane misses a sitter. REPEAT: Harry Kane misses a sitter. Christian Eriksen lifts a cross over all the defenders and Kane is waiting inside the six yard box for the ball to fall at his feet. With a first time effort, he swings his left foot at the ball but his effort flashes wide.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
57: Palace are struggling to get out of their half and possession is being cheaply conceded. With space Serge Aurier takes a shot which Wayne Hennessey palms into a crowd where Christian Eriksen is waiting and shoots with a tame effort but Palace clear.

61: Serge Aurier is again found in loads of space and this time he tries to slip in Erik Lamela but his pass is over hit. The visitors up to 80% possession.

69: Patrick van Aaholt is down after slipping and twisting his left ankle. Thankfully he's back to his feet because at this rate, Roy Hodgson might even be in line for a start soon.

71: Dele Alli takes a tumble after tangling with Patrick van Aanholt in the box. The left back was very tight to Alli who is being accused by van Aanholt of going down too easily. No penalty was given and replays show that was probably for the best.
