Crystal Palace sit comfortably in mid-table (around 7th-8th place with ~26 points from 17 games), having enjoyed a solid season overall, including European football in the Conference League. Or at least that’s what a casual passer-by might say.

However, we’ve hit a rough patch recently: winless in four across all competitions, with Premier League losses to Manchester City (0-3) and Leeds United (4-1), plus a Carabao Cup quarter-final exit on penalties to Arsenal. Their home form has been patchy, without a win in the last three at Selhurst Park.

Tottenham Hotspur are struggling in 13th-14th place (~22 points), with only one win in our last eight Premier League games. Under manager Thomas Frank, we’ve shown flashes of improvement (e.g., a spirited performance despite going down to nine men in a 2-1 loss to Liverpool), but inconsistency and defensive issues persist. They’re just four points above the relegation zone, making this a crucial fixture.
