Palace v Spurs – how to watch, team news, kit colours, key information

A busy week of action continues on Wednesday evening with a trip to Crystal Palace (kick-off 8pm UK).

For us, it’s a quick chance to bounce back following the disappointing home defeat to Aston Villa on New Year’s Day, while Palace will be looking to build on their 2-0 win at AFC Bournemouth on the last day of 2022.

Curiously, we didn’t play Palace at all in the last calendar year due to the way both our fixtures against them fell in the first part of the 2021/22 campaign.

As we look to secure our first win at Selhurst Park since November, 2018, here’s everything you need to know about the game...

Richarlison is also still out injured, although Dejan Kulusevski is rated as 50-50 after missing the New Year’s Day defeat to Villa with a muscle problem picked up in training the day before.

It remains to be seen if Lucas Moura is ready to return, having missed our last two games since the Premier League’s post-World Cup resumption.
