From the source

Everything is coming up Tottenham Hotspur, which means the innate pessimist is fretting tirelessly about the upcoming home clash against Crystal Palace. Pierre Sage is certainly on the hot seat after overseeing back-to-back Premier League defeats, including a 5-0 thrashing at A23 rivals Brighton & Hove Albion.

Steve Parish is giving the Frenchman time to turn things around, having inherited a difficult situation at Selhurst Park, and they were unconvincingly victorious at Fulham in the week, meaning a Carabao Cup quarterfinal awaits in December.

This fixture represented one of the lowest moments in Spurs' 2025/26 season. It was the night when a fanbase agreed in frightening unison that relegation was a genuine possibility.
