Crystal Palace vs Tottenham LIVE – Premier League latest score, goals, team news and how to watch
Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace go into their third London derby in as many weeks when they entertain Tottenham in Saturday’s late kick-off.
Spurs have bounced back from their defeat to Manchester City late last month by recording three wins on the bounce, and they will be looking for a fourth against a Palace side who have failed to win in their last six top-flight games.
Roy Hodgson may take inspiration from the last time the Eagles welcomed a side from North London a fortnight ago, when they scored their first home goals of the season to draw 2-2 with Arsenal. Follow live:

Player to watch…
Harry Kane: The Spurs forward appeared to be suffering from a World Cup hangover at the beginning of the season but three goals in his last two appearances have raised hopes that he has overcome that hurdle. His double against PSV Eindhoven saw the England striker drag Spurs away from the depths of defeat, as he has done so many times, while his goal against Wolves proved to be the difference between the sides at Molineux.

Odds…
Crystal Palace to win: 7/2
Tottenham to win: 4/5

This makes for ugly reading for Spurs fans.
29 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
While one starting full-back goes off injured, the other seems to be thriving. Ben Davies has caused Wan Bissaka a lot of problems in the last few minutes, and one of his deliveries finds Dele Alli, who is in two minds and ends up directing his header well wide.
31 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
It has been a quiet 30 minutes for Harry Kane, but he gets into it now by firing a shot from 25 yards which Hennessey does well to parry round for a corner.
36 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
This game has yet to really catch fire if we're all being honest. Mamadou Sakho has nonetheless been excellent so far, and he makes a couple more challenges to halt Tottenham advances again.
40 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
The first booking of the evening goes to James Tomkins after he checks a Tottenham break being led by Lucas Moura.
43 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
Lucas Moura has been in the thick of it again, and he comes relatively close to giving Spurs the lead.
However, on the stretch he heads over from Aurier's cross after McArthur had put Alli out of the picture.
Half Time: Crystal Palace 0-0 Tottenham
So no goals at half-time at Selhurst Park, and quite frankly there hasn't been too much to write home about.
Andros Townsend had a half-chance for the hosts, while Moussa Sissoko, Harry Kane and Dele Alli have also failed to make the breakthrough with attempts.
There has been another injury for Spurs, with Kieran Trippier going off for Serge Aurier.
Surely the only way is up for both sides, given that 25 of the last 26 goals between these sides have come in the second half?
Second half-action not far away at Selhurst Park.
The raining is still teaming down in south London and it seems that Crystal Palace have missed their main man up front.
Roy Hodgson will hope they can muster up some more opportunities in this half to score their first goal from open play at home this season.
