Tottenham Hotspur are set to host Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 31st October 2026, at 18:30 HRS BST, according to To The Lane And Back. The London derby is expected to be exciting as Tottenham aims to make it three Premier League wins on the bounce. Tottenham have won their last two games, beating Coventry City 3-1 and Chelsea 2-0.

Tottenham's confidence has been boosted by their recent wins, particularly the 2-0 victory over Chelsea, while Crystal Palace have struggled for form under new manager Pierre Sage. Palace lost to Newcastle United in their previous league game but bounced back by defeating Fulham in the EFL Cup. The Eagles have lost their last two league matches without scoring a goal.

To The Lane And Back reports that Tottenham are dealing with injuries and suspensions, with James Maddison likely to be sidelined for a few weeks and Rodrigo Bentancur serving a suspension. Crystal Palace have injury concerns as well, with Ismaila Sarr and Jorgen Strand Larsen being doubts. The predicted lineups for both teams have been named, with Tottenham expected to play Kinsky in goal and Crystal Palace opting for Dean Henderson.
