Selection · Normal time

Tottenham Hotspur or draw

The early preference is Tottenham or draw. Spurs drew at Manchester United before beating Coventry 3-1 and Chelsea 2-0 in October. They also have more preparation time than Palace, who won 1-0 at Fulham in Wednesday's cup tie.

What could change the pick?

Palace have just won away at Fulham and scored twice away at Besiktas. Those performances show a credible route to an away win, despite Spurs' improved league results.

Before kick-off

Check Spurs availability, Palace cup minutes and recovery, and both starting attacks; reassess the price rather than assuming value.
