More injuries stretching Tottenham squad, Palace receive defensive boost - originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace on Saturday hoping to fire themselves up the Premier League table.
Spurs have picked up just five points from their first four matches and will be desperate to make up ground on the leading teams.
Juan Foyth is out of the game, while Giovani Lo Celso is likely to be sidelined until the end of October. Davinson Sanchez is also struggling with an injury.
However, Tanguy Ndombele, Kyle Walker-Peters and Eric Dier are all in contention for a place in the staring XI.
Palace head into the game on the back of an impressive 2-1 victory at Manchester United and they will be out to make life difficult for Spurs this weekend.
Scott Dann should return for Palace, but fellow defenders James Tomkins and Martin Kelly will miss out.
Spurs have won their last eight Premier League games against Palace and should extend that run to nine this weekend.
Predicted starting line-ups:
Spurs: Lloris, Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Ndombele, Winks, Son, Eriksen, Alli, Kane.
Crystal Palace: Guaita, Ward, Dann, Cahill, Van Aanholt, McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Zaha, Ayew, Schlupp.
