Momentum.
It's a word that's felt almost foreign when discussing Tottenham Hotspur in recent times; but with seven points from three matches, Spurs have a real chance to build a run of form and make their way further up the table… and a win against Crystal Palace would do wonders to stoke the simmering embers of confidence that are threatening to burst into flame.
The departure of Oliver Glasner, continued squad turnover, and the challenge of balancing league play with European fixtures have seen Palace struggle so far this season, with the Eagles flirting with the relegation zone. This match therefore seems like one Spurs will feel like they can win… but we've said that before this season.
Will Spurs continue to build? Or are the recent results built on a house of cards, ready to tumble? I choose hope.
COYS!
