Tottenham are looking to snap a run of four games without a win when they welcome Crystal Palace to north London on Saturday.

Ryan Mason's second interim spell has seen Spurs retain their defensive weaknesses but rediscover their attacking brilliance.

They are yet to win under his management again, but they have a great chance to pick up three points for the first time in nearly a month when the Eagles make the journey across the River Thames.

Here's how Tottenham could line up.


Tottenham predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace (3-4-3)

GK: Fraser Forster - Has shipped quite a few goals on his rare starts this season but has arguably played better than club captain Hugo Lloris.

CB: Cristian Romero - No player in Spurs' starting lineup has a bigger gap between their floor and ceiling than the boneheaded but brilliant World Cup winner.

RM: Pedro Porro - Quite clearly a gifted wide player, but equally a liability off the ball.

CM: Pape Sarr - Oliver Skipp sustained a head injury at Anfield (which somehow saw Diogo Jota go unpunished) so the Senegal starlet is likely to be drafted in.

CM: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Will have to prove he's the best Dane on the pitch when up against ball-playing centre-back Joachim Andersen.

RF: Son Heung-min - Now that he's not having to hold the ball up on the halfway line for no reason, the Golden Boot holder looks like a serious attacking threat again.

LF: Richarlison - It would make sense for Mason to continue playing the Brazilian after finally opening his Premier League account for Spurs.

CF: Harry Kane - It's gone under the radar that Kane has scored 25 Premier League goals this season.
