Tottenham are without a win in their last 10 London derbies and are hoping to put an end to that against Crystal Palace tonight in the Premier League.

The Lillywhites are hoping to have Dejan Kulusevski back for their trip to south London, but Richarlison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Moura are all out due injuries while Yves Bissouma is missing the game after picking up five yellow cards.

Crystal Palace also been inconsistent this season so much that it’s so hard to work out which of the two teams will turn up for the game tonight.

The Eagles have lost three home games campaign and all have come against London-based clubs but Spurs themselves come into this one after a wretched 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa at home.

Manager Antonio Conte has been a busy man in the media and has even questioned the backing he’s had during the transfer window and described their top four finish last season as a miracle.

Tottenham know that the coming days will be tough with the FA Cup game against Portsmouth just preceding games against Arsenal, Manchester City and Fulham in the league.

This could be the breaking point in the season as heavy defeats could all but bring an end to Antonio Conte’s time at the club.

Tottenham tough will be encouraged by the fact that Crystal Palace have not won any of their 12 Premier League matches that have been played on a Wednesday night and Tyrick Mitchell, who is their first choice left-back is still suspended for this game having been sent off against Fulham.

With the Arsenal game just around the corner- a win against Palace will be the best way to end the their poor form on the road in London derbies.
