Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

Tottenham Hotspur will look to increase their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points when they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Friday night.

Goals from in-form duo Son Heung-min and James Maddison helped Spurs claim a routine 2-0 home win over Fulham on Monday to maintain their unbeaten start under new boss Ange Postecoglou, who has seen his side claim 23 points from their opening nine top-flight fixtures.

With games against Chelsea, Aston Villa and Manchester City on the horizon, Tottenham will be keen to build on their positive start to the campaign by claiming a victory over a Crystal Palace side who were thumped 4-0 by Newcastle United last weekend.
