Premier League: Spurs v Crystal Palace betting preview, odds, tips & TV details

7.45pm Wednesday

Tottenham have been dragged into an almighty scrap for a top-four place and their chances of Champions League qualification could recede further with a failure to defeat Crystal Palace in the first competitive match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Playing at a stunning new venue should have a positive impact on Spurs's home results but the first game looks a tricky one.

Palace have had an extra day to prepare and their counter-attacking style will cause problems for a Spurs side short on confidence.

Recommendation
Crystal Palace or draw double chance
