Supercomputer predicts outcome of Crystal Palace vs Tottenham in Premier League
Thomas Frank will hope to avoid three consecutive losses when Tottenham play Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Tottenham will travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace in a festive Premier League match that has so much importance for the Lilywhites.
Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool last time out, which added even more pressure onto Frank‘s shoulders.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been tipped to replace Frank at Spurs, and the Austrian may see the game as an opportunity to show off to the Tottenham board.
Opta’s supercomputer have now given its predictions ahead of the encounter.

Crystal Palace heavy favourites to beat Tottenham
Tottenham are currently sitting in 14th place ahead of game week 18, with Glasner‘s Palace four points clear of the Lilywhites.
Frank has received plenty of criticism for tactics and poor results in recent weeks, but things don’t look to be getting any better for Spurs.
Opta’s supercomputer has predicted Crystal Palace as the favourites to win the match with a 49 per cent chance of victory
Tottenham have been given a 25.4 per cent possibility of winning, with a remaining 25.6 per cent suggesting a draw could be on the cards.
Anything other than a win for Spurs will be seen as a disappointment, and Frank could be heading into the new year with egg on his face.
Tottenham have mixed experiences at Selhurst Park
Odds aside, Frank has a massive chance to restore faith from the fanbase with a win over Glasner’s side.
But his players won’t take loads of confidence in the fact that they were beaten last time out at Selhurst Park, courtesy of a Jean-Philippe Mateta first-half finish.
Palace have seven goals in their last five games, and need to be wary of Adam Wharton, who is Glasner’s best playmaker, as the midfielder has created the most big chances for the Eagles this season with seven.
Tottenham’s last 5 results at Selhusrt Park:
Frank is going to have to rotate in this busy winter period, which may give some underused Spurs players a chance to impress, and he could shake things up against the Eagles.
This could be a saving grace for the Dane, who needs to find his preferred starting eleven, before it’s too late.
