Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner selects a strong team here despite this being Crystal Palace's final match before the FA Cup final. Glasner is forced to make a change in midfield as Adam Wharton is injured, but he also decides to drop Daichi Kamada to the bench. Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes therefore come into the starting line-up.

Ange Postecoglou decides to make eight changes from the Tottenham team that defeated Bodo/Glimt. Pedro Porro, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur are the only players that keep their place in the starting line-up from that game. That also means a change in goal as Kinsky replaces Vicario. Son Heung-Min is a welcome return to the squad after a seven-game absence.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
Following their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest last time out, Crystal Palace look set to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table for the ninth time in the past 10 seasons. Like Tottenham though, Crystal Palace also have a cup final coming up to look forward to. This is the Eagles’ last match before they head back to Wembley to face Manchester City in the FA Cup final. Oliver Glasner may elect to rest some key players ahead of that match, when Palace could potentially win the FA Cup for the first time in their history. Palace will want to go into the final off the back of a win, but they have not won a league match at Tottenham since 1997.

It has already been a successful week for Tottenham following their victory in midweek against Bodo/Glimt which secured their passage to the Europa League final against Manchester United. Ange Postecoglou may have one eye on that fixture with a spot in next season’s Champions League up for grabs, something they will not be able to achieve via the Premier League table. A European trophy would salvage what has been a disastrous season for the North London club in the Premier League. Spurs currently sit 16th in the table, and three points here against Crystal Palace would lift them up to 14th and above Wolves on goal difference.
