"Crystal Palace are targeting a first win in five matches in all competitions when Tottenham visit Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Sunday. The ninth-placed Eagles are four points above Spurs, who have won one of their last nine domestic games and lost their last two. Visiting boss Thomas Frank remains among the favourites to become the next managerial departure in the top flight following a 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest and a 2-1 loss at home to Liverpool."
"Defender Chris Richards (foot) is out injured for Palace but forward Eddie Nketiah, who had been a doubt with a knock, is on the bench. Defenders Chadi Riad and Daniel Munoz and midfielder Cheick Doucoure are recovering from knee injuries. Widemen Caleb Kporha (back) and Rio Cardines (muscular) are also sidelined. Midfielder Daichi Kamada is expected to be out until February with a hamstring problem. Forward Ismaila Sarr is at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Senegal."
"Forward Dominic Solanke (ankle) and defenders Destiny Udogie and Kota Takai (both hamstring) remain out, as do midfielders James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski with knee injuries. Midfielder Xavi Simons is serving the first of a three-match ban for a red card against Liverpool last Saturday, when defender Cristian Romero also incurred a one-game suspension for receiving two yellow cards. Yves Bissouma is playing for Mali at the AFCON but centre-back Radu Dragusin is on the bench following a long-term knee injury."
