Tottenham v Crystal Palace is live on Sky Sports on Saturday 31 October, with a 5.30pm UK kick-off in Premier League gameweek 9. Sky’s listing names Sky Sports Main Event for the match. All times in this piece are UK time.
Spurs are the home side, so the match is at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Sky’s listing shows the coverage starting at 5pm, half an hour ahead of kick-off.
Injuries and doubts on both sides
Official FPL data, checked on Thursday 29 October, has Spurs’ James Maddison at a 75% chance of playing with an unspecified injury, so he’s a doubt rather than out. That update was posted on 24 October. Sávio has a muscular problem and isn’t expected back until 7 November. Udogie has a knee injury with no return date, and Bentancur is suspended until 7 November. Bergvall has a knee injury and is listed as expected back on 31 October, the day of this game.
Palace have the lighter list. Sarr (groin) and Strand Larsen (ankle) are both at 75%, with Sarr’s latest update from 27 October and Strand Larsen’s from 23 October. Tomiyasu is out with a calf injury until 8 November. Henderson is listed as fully available.
Predicted lineups
The predicted Spurs lineup has Solanke leading the line in a 4-2-3-1. It’s a prediction, and Maddison is the one to watch once the official team news lands. The predicted Crystal Palace lineup has Henderson back, and the Spurs injury news post goes deeper on Maddison, Sávio and Udogie.
Kick-off is 5.30pm UK on Saturday, and the gameweek 9 FPL deadline falls earlier that morning at 11am.
