How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Crystal Palace

How Tottenham could line up against Crystal Palace

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to snatch sixth position from Wolverhampton Wanderers when they travel to Crystal Palace for their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs are currently seventh in the table, one point behind sixth-placed Wolves, who travel to Chelsea on Sunday, with Jose Mourinho's side looking to make sure of a spot in next season's Europa League.

The London club have been in impressive form since losing at Sheffield United on July 2, winning four of their last five league games, including their last three against Arsenal, Newcastle United and Leicester City.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the visitors could line up at Selhurst Park.


Out: Tanguy Ndombele (knee)

Tottenham will again be without the services of Tanguy Ndombele due to a knee problem, but Dele Alli has recovered from the hamstring injury which has seen him miss the team's last five matches.

Alli is expected to return to the starting XI in the position behind Harry Kane, meaning that Giovani Lo Celso could drop into central midfield with Harry Winks the player making way.

Eric Dier is also available, having served a four-game suspension, but it seems unlikely that Mourinho will drop either Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez due to their impressive form.

Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min will keep their spots in support of Harry Kane, meanwhile, with the latter going in search of his 24th goal of the campaign.

Serge Aurier and Ben Davies should keep their positions at full-back, but there could be a farewell appearance off the bench for Jan Vertonghen as the Belgium international looks set to leave the club this summer.
