Eagles to soar against sliding Spurs
Crystal Palace can move to within five points and a game in hand of London rivals Tottenham Hotspur with a win against them at Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Wednesday night. The Eagles have a symmetrical record in the division this term, whilst the visitors have been decidedly off-colour for quite some time and have fallen from the top positions in the table. Read our preview here:
Eberechi and the Eze street band
Patrick Vieira's charges have both won and drawn three from their last six in the league, cementing a mid-table position at the time of writing in the process. He'll be able to welcome back James Tomkins to the defence after the centre back served a one-match suspension, though it remains to be seen whether he'll be utilised from the outset. Eberechi Eze scored last time out at AFC Bournemouth, and helps ease the burden on Wilfried Zaha's shoulders to get the goals.
Antonio, it's raining again
To a man, Antonio Conte's side were abject in their insipid defeat at home to Aston Villa, and the grumblings about his position as head coach have only gotten more vocal since the division resumed after the World Cup break. Oliver Skipp is certain to be alongside Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in a midfield two bereft of creativity. Dejan Kulusevski is also a big doubt but will be risked with Richarlison and Lucas Moura still out of contention and the pressure mounting at the club.
Betting tip
Parimatch have odds of 3.50 for Palace to usher Conte that much closer to the exit door with another damaging defeat.
