Tottenham welcome Crystal Palace to White Hart Lane in Sunday’s early kick-off. Spurs recorded their first win of the campaign last time out against Sunderland but will face a stern examination in front of their own fans with the Eagles arriving having won both their previous road ties.

Before the weekend, Spurs ranked fourth for shots on target (27) and joint-second for big chances (12) yet have just four goals to show for their efforts – drawing attention to their poor finishing. Back-to-back clean sheets for Mauricio Pochettino’s troops show their improvement at the back, but they’re still yet to taste victory at home this term and have chalked up just two shut-outs in their last 11 match-ups at the Lane.

Prior to Saturday’s matches, no side had conceded more shots inside the box (58) than Palace this season, but it’s important to note than Alan Pardew’s outfit have already faced off against the like of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. On the attacking front, Palace rank in the top six for big chances (10) and shots on target (24). Only a trio of clubs (Man City, Leicester and West Ham – 11) boasted a superior goal output to the Eagles (eight) going into this Gameweek, ensuring that Spurs’ rearguard are in for a testing afternoon.

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      Definitely. Was at fault for the loss vs City too.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Missed the game, but watched the replay and asked on here, for sure he was at fault. Atleast i've got Krul as back up 🙁

  20. Bucky Barnes
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Son looks decent, struck that well

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He's way more than "decent".

  21. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I knew Shun was going to be a big PL player, i've been watching him for years. I wish his price was lower since he's listed as a striker.

  22. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Son goal, that....

  23. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

  24. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    This is horrible. All my players played, so I just have to sit and watch my rank plummet...

  25. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Who to get in for chadli?

    Pedro
    Hazard
    Mata
    Payet

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Already did Chadli to Payet last night before his rise. 3 juicy fixtures next too

    3. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm probably getting Walcott(already have Hazard and Payet).

      1. Sasquatch Slayer
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I like this. Walcott does owe me
