Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur, the first of eight Premier League fixtures on a busy Saturday, gets Gameweek 4 underway at Selhurst Park.

Kick-off is at 12:30 BST.

The headline team news is the absence of Son Heung-min, who Nuno Espirito Santo had intimated would miss this fixture with a calf problem picked up over the international break.

Santo makes three changes to the side that began the win over Watford in the Lilywhites’ last Premier League outing.

Steven Bergwijn is, like Son, injured, while Davinson Sanchez misses out as he needs to follow Covid-19 quarantine protocols having being involved with Colombia over the last week.

Emerson Royal comes in for his debut at right-back, while Harry Winks and Lucas Moura also start.

Patrick Vieira names the same starting XI from Crystal Palace’s 2-2 draw at West Ham United in Gameweek 3.

Summer signings Odsonne Edouard, Will Hughes and Michael Olise take their place on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell, Kouyate, McArthur, Gallagher, Zaha, Ayew, Benteke

Subs: Butland, Milivojevic, Tomkins, Olise, Hughes, Clyne, Edouard, Kelly, Riedewald

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Tanganga, Royal, Dier, Reguilon, Winks, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Alli, Kane, Moura

Subs: Gollini, Doherty, Gil, Rodon, Ndombele, Davies, Scarlett, Omole, Markanday

    Anyone got Lukaku+Ronaldo? Whats your team like? I think I've got a team I could go with after GW7 but had no TAA. Thoughts?

      Feel like you're missing out on a lot of value forwards (Antonio, DCL) to cater for that structure. You can only captain 1 player every week so I don't think its worth it

      It's mad, isn't it. I was a teenager in prison at the time. We'd just got back to the wing after playing football, and my mate came into my cell and said, 'put the TV , some people have flown planes into the world trade centre'. We were all just dumb, selfish kids, but it was a sombre mood that day.

    Went for Pukki instead of DCL. That allowed me to have Jota, Greenwood, Torres & Salah midfield and not needing to play 4.0 defenders every gameweek.

    My reasoning was that DCL seldomly scores more than one, and is not usually high on baps. We'll see whether that was a good shout.

    Thoughts on this GW5 WC?

    Meslier
    TAA Reece Semedo White Livra
    Salah Jota Raphinha Sarr Allan
    Ron Bamford Jimenez

    Jota or Robbo(instead of White) depending upon Firmino's availability.

    Robbo gives a route to the 2nd Chelsea defender in GW7. While Jota is a route to Mount.

    Thoughts?
