- 托特纳姆在过去的18场联赛中输掉了11场
- 自圣诞节以来，Palace的战绩在联盟中排名第七
- 老鹰队五次进入四强，其中四次获胜
倒数计时
托特纳姆热刺队将在距离赛季决定性的欧联杯决赛仅剩10天的时候参加这场比赛，而客队水晶宫队将在温布利球场排队参加下周末的足总杯决赛。随着双方都在倒数他们的重要日子，他们将如何接近周日；联盟遭遇战？
排名第16位的马刺队拒绝了联赛，转而支持他们的欧洲联赛，但他们的挣扎已经持续了一个赛季。水晶宫在缓慢的开局后有所改善，就像上学期一样。自圣诞节以来，只有利物浦、曼城、纽卡斯尔、阿森纳和阿斯顿维拉的表现优于皇宫。在积分榜的另一端，只有垫底的三分之一的得分低于托特纳姆热刺队，托特纳姆热刺队在18场比赛中输掉了11场。
宫殿是值得喜爱的
宫殿是进入周日的双方中较短的一方；尽管他们之前的五场比赛都没有赢，但他们还是遭遇了这场比赛。然而，他们在这方面确实有形式优势，因为马刺队在之前的八场比赛中输了五场。
托特纳姆热刺队在主场与伊普斯维奇和莱斯特城队的比赛中失利，当时他们正认真对待联赛。现在东道主完全专注于欧洲，而在周中的足球之旅之后，变化是有保证的。
Oliver Glasner将在周六之前保持他最强的11分；足总杯决赛，所以他们有很大的机会取得好成绩。老鹰队仍有可能进入前10名，所以我；我也希望他们在这对搭档中更有动力。
萨尔可能会给马刺队带来麻烦
Palace在联赛中有着辉煌的战绩；在五次进入四强的比赛中，有四次获胜。他们唯一的失误是；与南安普顿1-1战平；在足总杯四分之一决赛战胜富勒姆的几天后。
老鹰队在最后一场客场比赛中以2比2战平阿森纳队，在那场比赛中以预期进球数险胜枪手队。在上一场比赛中，他们也以同样的标准比诺丁汉森林队好得多，以2.3比0.7战胜了冠军联赛的希望者。
托特纳姆热刺队在这场比赛中看起来很脆弱，所以皇宫可以继续一系列出色的表现，并带着分数离开。期待伊斯梅拉·萨尔给客队留下深刻印象，因为他在温布利对阵维拉的两场联赛中都取得了0.9×G的成绩。
预言：
水晶宫获胜
水晶宫2-0
伊斯梅拉·萨尔随时得分
外文原文如下：
- Tottenham have lost 11 of their last 18 league games
- Palace have the seventh-best record in the league since Christmas
- The Eagles have won four of their five visits to the bottom six
The final countdown
Tottenham will go into this game just 10 days shy of a season-defining Europa League final, while visitors Crystal Palace will be lining up at Wembley for the FA Cup final next weekend. With both sides counting down to their big day out, how will they approach Sunday’s league encounter?
16th-placed Spurs have spurned the league in favour of their European run, but their struggles have been season-long. Crystal Palace have improved after a slow start, as they did last term. Only Liverpool, Man City, Newcastle, Arsenal, and Aston Villa have outperformed Palace since Christmas Day. At the other end of the table, only a dismal bottom three have fewer points than Tottenham, who have lost 11 of 18 outings.
Palace are worthy favourites
Palace are the shorter of the two sides going into Sunday’s encounter, despite failing to win their previous five games. However, they do have the form advantage in that regard, as Spurs have lost five of their previous eight.
This Tottenham side lost home clashes with Ipswich and Leicester back when they were taking the league seriously. Now the hosts are fully focused on Europe, while changes are guaranteed after a midweek trip as far north as football goes.
Oliver Glasner is set to stick with his strongest 11 ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final, so they have a huge opportunity to claim a good result. The Eagles could yet break into the top 10, so I’m also expecting them to be the more motivated of the pair.
Sarr can trouble Spurs
Palace have a brilliant record away to the league’s strugglers, winning four of their five trips to the bottom six. Their only slip-up – a 1-1 draw with Southampton – came days after a resounding FA Cup quarter-final win at Fulham.
The Eagles drew 2-2 at Arsenal in their last away game, edging out the Gunners in terms of Expected Goals in that clash. They were also comfortably better than Nottingham Forest by the same metric in their last game, winning the xG battle 2.3 to 0.7 against the Champions League hopefuls.
Tottenham look vulnerable heading into this clash, so Palace can continue a string of good displays and exit with the points. Look to Ismaila Sarr to impress for the visitors, as he has recorded 0.9 xG across his last two league matches, which came either side of his two-goal display against Villa at Wembley.
Predictions:Crystal Palace to Win
Crystal Palace 2-0
