The Premier League returns this weekend with a full slate of fixtures as we prepare to enter the month of March. There’s a lot of excitement and tension in the air at both ends of the table and with so much on the line, there are plenty of reasons to feel hyped about what’s ahead. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
Tottenham Form GuideTottenham Hotspur fans have enjoyed seeing Big Ange do his thing with this squad - but as time has gone on, he’s been forced to confront the cold reality of how difficult the Premier League is. The main goal for the remainder of the campaign will be to get the club back in the top four and if he can manage that, he’ll have a solid platform to build off of in the summer.
In their most recent Premier League outing, lightning struck twice for Spurs as they were once again beaten by Wolverhampton Wanderers. It was a 2-1 scoreline and, in many ways, they’re probably lucky that it wasn’t a lot worse.
Crystal Palace Form GuideA change in management can often inspire a turnaround on the pitch and while Roy Hodgson’s presence wasn’t the only ongoing issue at the club, his exit will certainly give fans cause for hope and optimism. Now, with Oliver Glasner at the helm, there could be an exciting new direction for this famous club - and hopefully for them, far less of a worry regarding the threat of relegation.
Glasner enjoyed a winning start to life at Selhurst Park as Palace played host to Burnley. The visitors went down to ten men and, from there, the Eagles took over, eventually finding their way to a convincing and comprehensive 3-0 win.
Match PredictionThere’s a lot of potential for chaos in a game like this and with the visitors riding a nice wave right now with the new manager bounce, we do think they’ll be able to cause Spurs problems. Alas, if this descends into a back and forth war, there’s only one winner - which is why we’re backing a Tottenham win.
