Ange Postecoglou plots Crystal Palace defeat with double boost after star signing returns

Tottenhama manager Ange Postecoglou will be able to call on midfield powerhouse Yvess Bissouma who missed the game against Fulham due to his sending off against Luton Town.

The Malian has been one of the first names on Postecoglu’s team sheet and his absence gave Pierre-Emile Højbjerg a chance to to remind everyone that he still had enough to contribute to the team.

But Bissouma offers more, his passing is more direct and his use of space has allowed the likes of James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr to dominate and excell at the same time.

Bissouma is still not at the level where he could single-handledly boss games for Brighton but he is the heart beat of this Tottenham team, and at a time when the likes of Chelsea are paying more than £100million for Caceido, the £25million Tottenham paid to Brighton now looks like bargain.

Ange Postecoglou will hope now have him available as well at the healthy Giovani Lo Celso who endured the last fifteen minutes of the win against Fulham.

Tottenham have had the best start to a Premier League campaign, they are top of the league table, have won seven of their none games with the two draws coming against Brentford on the opening day and Arsenal in the North London derby.

They will go five points clear of second-placed Manchester City who have the derby over the weekend with Spurs quietly hoping to at leats put up a title challneg this season.
