Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Sunday afternoon as they try to keep their good form going in the Premier League. Spurs managed to pick up a 2-1 win over West Ham United in the EFL Cup earlier this week, so they will be quietly confident about their chances of securing another positive result in domestic competitions.
Antonio Conte will probably opt for a 3-4-3 formation and could make a few changes to his first-team for this clash. Both Heung-min Son and Emerson Royal are expected to play from the start as Conte looks to revert to his strongest XI for this game.
3-4-3 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Crystal Palace
Defence
Hugo Lloris will function as Tottenham’s first-choice keeper once again after shipping in one goal versus the Hammers in his last appearance. Conte could choose to go with a back three of Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Ben Davies as they focus on keeping things tidy at the back versus Patrick Viera’s men this weekend.
Japhet Tanganga and Joe Rodon will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they offer cover for the centre-back positions.

Midfield
Emerson Royal could get a chance to impress as the right wing-back while Sergio Reguilon hopes to give a good account of himself down the left flank.
Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks will anchor the midfield for Tottenham as they try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park. They will both be responsible for creating some decent chances for their teammates up top.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli will be named on the Spurs bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Heung-min Son will hope to produce a fruitful display as the left-sided wide player while Lucas Moura looks to catch the eye from the right. Harry Kane will lead the charge for the North London giants down the middle after failing to register a goal in midweek.
Steven Bergwijn will have to be content with a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the latter stages of the game if needed.
