Tottenham Hotspur will host Crystal Palace in an important match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 2 March. What are the prospects for both teams in this match?

Tottenham are favorites to return to the top four, where Ange Postecoglou's side are outperformed

Spurs have scored in 37 Premier League games in a row, being the second longest record in competition history. But their weakness, they have managed to keep only one clean sheet in their last 16 matches.

Oliver Glasner's era at Crystal Palace began with an impressive win last week, where the Eagles beat Burnley 3-0. Now, they will face Tottenham Hotspur who are determined to return to winning ways after losing to Wolves.

Glasner hopes to follow in the footsteps of Alan Pardew who was the only previous manager to win his first two games with Palace, whose opponents are Burnley and Tottenham in January 2015.

Glasner had to play without injured Michael Olise, but Eberechi Eze may come back after a month of absence from injury. Palace also relies on Jordan Ayew who has been involved in 10 Premier League goals this season.

On the other hand, Tottenham faced the game after a two-week break and a 2-1 loss to Wolves. Despite having an impressive goal record, Spurs have only been able to keep one clean sheet in their last 16 matches.

Tottenham are expected to benefit from the return of wing-back Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, who gave them greater control in the face of counter-attacks. Spurs will depend on their captain, Son Heung-min, to score in this match.

Tottenham won 2-1 in their previous game against Palace in October. Meanwhile, Palace have won only one of their last 17 matches against Tottenham in the Premier League.

Previously, Tottenham had been forced to accept their first defeat at home since December, while Palace was still looking for away wins after the last seven games without a win.

Saat Tottenham berusaha kembali ke jalur kemenangan dan Palace mencari poin penting dalam perlombaan regradasi, pertandingan ini diharapkan akan menjadi seru dan penuh semangat. Keduanya akan berusaha keras untuk meraih hasil maksimal di Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
