Sunday’s Premier League action kicks off at Wembley where Tottenham Hotspur take on London rivals Crystal Palace.

The hosts are in high spirits after recording one of the greatest results in their history – beating European Champions Real Madrid by three goals to one at their temporary home on Tuesday evening to secure qualification for the knockout stages of the competition.

Another victory here would see Mauricio Pochettino’s men move level on points with second place Manchester United – who beat them at Old Trafford last time out in the league – and five behind leaders Manchester City with both sides playing later in the day.

Hugo Lloris and Toby Alderweireld both sustained injuries midweek and will both miss out here, along with Erik Lamela and Victor Wanyama who are both still not ready to return.

Harry Kane is favourite to open the scoring at 3.05 (41/20) with Unibet ahead of Dele Alli, who can be backed at 5.5 (9/2) with Sky Bet.

The home win is widely available at 1.3 (3/10) with a variety of firms with the visitors as highly priced as the 12.0 (11/1) on offer from a variety of firms. The draw can be backed at 6.25 (21/4) with Sporting Bet.

Roy Hodgson’s side were moments away from what would have been a ninth defeat from ten league games last weekend only for Wilfried Zaha to strike deep into injury time and salvage a point against West Ham United.

The Eagles are still rooted to the bottom of the division but go into the weekend just four points from safety and may be able to close that gap, depending on Saturday’s results.

Mamadou Sakho and James McArthur are both in contention for selection after returning to training though Patrick van Aanholt is doubtful with a hamstring issue and Lee Chung-yong is sidelined with a similar problem.

Zaha is priced at 15.0 (14/1) to get the first goal of the game with Sky Bet with Yohan Cabaye is a 26.0 (25/1) shot with Bet 365.

Spurs won both of last season’s meetings between the sides by one goal to nil and you can back a home victory without the hosts conceding at 2.28 (23/18) with Unibet.
