Tottenham Hotspur are flying high. They have seven wins from eight matches, and just last weekend crushed London “rivals” West Ham United. Sunday’s opponent Crystal Palace, however, can’t buy a win. The only wins they do have this season are against lower tier sides in cup competition, winless so far in the league and sitting in the relegation zone.
Does anybody else feel a storm brewing?
Glasner-ball hasn’t really taken off after promising signs were seen for the Eagles last season. The loss of Michael Olise has hit them hard, and Tottenham-linked Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton have struggled for form. Spurs. on the other hand, seem to be rounding nicely into form. Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson have gone to new levels, and the addition of Dominic Solanke to the squad has seemingly taken the attack up a notch.
Even without captain Son Heung-min, this should be a match the Lilywhites will be expecting to control; but expectations are one thing, and real life is another. Let’s see if things go as smoothly as they might on paper.
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
