London will be buzzing this week as Tottenham Hotspur make the trip to the south of the City to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night. Spurs will be coming into this match week 18 fixture having slipped out of the Champions League spots last week. Patrick Viera brought some Christmas cheer to the Palace faithful in the week with subtle indications that his team will be active in the upcoming transfer window and looking to bring in some fresh faces in their quest to breach the top half of the table. The scene is set for another entertaining London Derby to unfold, and both teams will be chomping at the bit to come away with all three points.
The odds in this match perhaps show how close of an encounter this is expected to be, with most bookmakers choosing Spurs as a soft favourite. The visitors have been priced at 2.3, while a win for Palace will return 3.3. A draw in this match is regarded as the least likely outcome at the odds of 3.5. These odds suggest that most are expecting both teams to go all out for a win in this match, which means that we should expect to see lots of chances being created at both ends. Both teams scoring seems like a safer choice and is currently returning 1.7, and for those that fancy a high-scoring encounter, odds of 2.2 are available on the over 2.5 goals betting market.

Crystal Palace & Tottenham Squad Analysis
Following the two red cards against Fulham, James Tomkins will be back in contention for selection after serving his one-match ban. However, Tyrick Mitchell still has two games left to serve since he received a straight red in that match before the double yellow for Tomkins. Joel Ward will likely continue at left-back in Mitchell’s absence. Longer-term absentees include Sam Johnstone, James McArthur, and Nathan Ferguson. Spurs has their own share of attacking concerns, chief among which is Dejan Kulusevski, who will need to pass a late medical test after missing the last match with a muscle strain. Richarlison, Moura, and Bentancur will remain absent in this fixture with injuries, while Yves Bissouma will also miss this fixture after picking up his fifth yellow card. Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon are likely to maintain their spots in the side, but Bryan Gil may have to give up his place if Kulusevski is passed fit for this fixture.
Crystal Palace - Tottenham Key Points
Crystal Palace has only kept one clean sheet at home this season
Crystal Palace has scored in six of their eight home matches
Spurs have conceded in seven consecutive league matches ahead of this encounter
Spurs average 1.94 goals scored per match so far this season
In this fixture, we have two teams that are capable of scoring goals but have also shed their fair share this season. Both sides will feel as though they could come away with the win in this match and will likely rely on outscoring their opponent rather than trying to shut them out. There should be a lot of goalmouth action at either end, and this match could easily end up in a high-scoring affair. The over 2.5 goals market looks like a tempting prospect, but both teams to score may be a safer option. Our Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur prediction is for both teams to score.
