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

  3. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Son and Lloris looking like the only Spurs assets worth owning.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Reguillon

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Unless he is in BPS then a no go.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Reguillon has 4 Baps already in 3 games

  6. La Roja
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fair to say Spurs defense double up could well be profitable this season. Way too defensive tactics

    1. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Unless they're subbed off injured after 15...

      *cough*

      Check my post right below yours.

    2. Bubz

      Horrendous

    3. Cruyff's Eleven

      Stay where you are!

    4. Make United Great Again
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely terrible

    5. tommo1989
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not even a shot, let alone one on target

    6. el polako
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't rush back.

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Synchronized Swimming on the other channel more interesting.

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      5 years, 1 month ago

      too much fannying around 🙂

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nobody's complaining 🙂

  11. Thanos
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would be absolute scenes if CR7 starts but Bruno is benched 😆

    1. Utopsis
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha don't

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 1 month ago

      More chance of Son coming on second half

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Off the bleechers?

    3. Halftime
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Or Bruno came on late for a point of shame.

    4. Holmes
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno against dead legs, wohooo

      1. Holmes
        5 years, 1 month ago

        or even tired legs

  12. Jdpz
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo will not start imo.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thks for that!

      1. Jdpz
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Do you own Ronaldo?

    2. thegaffer82
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He will now Cavani is out.
      If Cavani was available, it’d be a different story…

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1st shot of the match from Spurs

  14. Paqueta Rice
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lucas shot on target! Need some Moura that!

    1. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Have a like

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice...

  15. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Logically speaking, why would Ronaldo NOT start?
    Actually makes no sense

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Non owner btw

      1. JoeSoap
        5 years, 1 month ago

        To get the players on the pitch 2 play for their place.

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe he got injured during the warm-up

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That’s the only rational reason that could occur

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just relax ... scoring against tired legs not necessarily too bad

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I don’t have him

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I know that ... just relax for everyone owners or non-owners

    4. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The only reason that I can possibly think of is the atmosphere that can be created with all the standing ovation when he is subbed in on the pitch.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Same difference if he starts

    5. Bartowski
      5 years, 1 month ago

      For that razzmatazz moment of everyone getting to their feet as he gets subbed on.

    6. GROBARI
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You dont know with Ole

    7. Utopsis
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same reason Messi didn't start his first PSG game. Its a team sport, he's not had long enough to integrate into the team

  16. Jafooli
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Friend of mine who works at OT has just told me Ronnie has scored already. Any truth?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No intimate relations on game day!

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Groundskeeper says no

    3. el polako
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is she fit ?

      1. Dr. Rog
        5 years, 1 month ago

        he*

    4. Bubz
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Paddy power instagram have stolen your pulp fiction joke

      1. Jafooli
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ha, serious?

    5. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What your friend does with Ronnie is none of our business

    6. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, confirmed

    7. GROBARI
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No,thats R9 who scored.

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 1 month ago

    TAA the most essential defender you can own.

    Who is with me?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, has been for a few seasons now really.

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, followed closely by Shaw, Cancelo and Alonso.

      All bargains

      1. Rio Angora Mohair
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Never discount Cresswell or even Chillwell, who has come down to 5.7M too

        1. Dr. Rog
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Chilwell is the one to own. Alonso will be out of the team soon

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Why? He has played very well

    3. Rio Angora Mohair
      5 years, 1 month ago

      undoubtedly!!

    4. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      5 years, 1 month ago

      correct

      reece james soon

      1. Rio Angora Mohair
        5 years, 1 month ago

        of course, James too, he is in my side LOL

      2. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Shhhhhh

    5. Khark
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think anyone is 100% essential but if i was to do a list of who i thought was the most essential TAA would be top of anyone in the game. Think he offers better value for money even more than Salah

  18. Rio Angora Mohair
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I might keep an eye on Gallagher, not sure I can justify £5.5M for a place mid, but de does look lively, but now on my watchlist

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Think I might do Gray to Gallagher around GW7, only picked up Gray for short-term anyway unless he keeps up his form

      1. Rio Angora Mohair
        5 years, 1 month ago

        watxh Monday night Football first, then it could be a good idea, Gallagher has looked sharp!!

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah honestly I haven't seen too much of Gray apart from MOTD, went for him on WC with the little run of decent fixtures but seen a lot of people saying he's vastly outperforming is xg, Gallagher though I have seen more of and has looked good since the start of the season

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not bad run of fixtures from 7 to 13, cept for City in 11.

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sorry, gw10

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gallagher denied again

  20. Von Lipwig
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Dier?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Went off injured. Might be his knee.

  21. Paqueta Rice
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gallagher almost scored only for a block

  22. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    spurs scrambling well. Somehow Gallagher hasn't scored yet

  23. Harry the Hack
    5 years, 1 month ago

    McArthur lol

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Tanganga Zaha fight

  25. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane got into the box there for a second

  26. Paqueta Rice
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Tangana decked Zaha and he did not like it one bit!!

    1. Khark
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tangana is a proper old school english defender. He's been born 15 years too late

  27. 3 A
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lol Tanganga

    1. Utopsis
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha that's one way of getting aggressive without being violent

  28. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    5 years, 1 month ago

    All kicking off … gonna be some cards flying …
