Spurs Web has identified three potential options Roberto De Zerbi could turn to as he looks to replace James Maddison in the Tottenham XI against Crystal Palace.
Tottenham Hotspur’s upturn in form coincided with the return of their attacking midfielder James Maddison. The Englishman was named in the Premier League starting XI for the first time since April 2025 in Spurs’ clash against Coventry, and he immediately set the tone for what followed.
He opened the scoring with a superb curling effort into the top corner, helping Tottenham secure their first win of the season with a 3-1 victory over the newly promoted side.
