Tottenham vs Crystal Palace preview: What time does it start, where can I watch it live, what channel is it on?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at White Hart Lane

Pochettino

It’s a big game for…

Michael Vorm: Back-up goalkeepers tend to fill an unglamorous but necessary role in most squads, and while Vorm would have to pull off something spectacular to put any pressure on the injured Hugo Lloris in the next few games, it will nevertheless be an opportunity to impress that does not come around often for him.

Best stat…

No Crystal Palace player scored more than 5 goals in the Premier League last season, a worrying statistic that they have done little to rectify this transfer window.

Remember when…

Crystal Palace knocked Spurs out of the FA Cup in what was otherwise a season to forget for them.

Player to watch…

Scott Dann: Dann was tipped by some for inclusion in the England squad this summer and there’s little reason he couldn’t be considered for upcoming internationals. Until Crystal Palace fill the striker shaped hole in their squad then a solid defence is the only thing keeping them afloat, Dann in particular receiving praise for his bravery and smart positioning.
