Tottenham are going through tough times. This season the team caught on for a place in the Conference League with great difficulty, where in the end they did not even make it to the playoffs. The reason for this was not the team’s game, but the coronavirus raging in the world, which came to the team at the most inopportune moment. The team had a good start in the League Cup, where the Spurs made it to the semi-finals, but had no luck with the opponent. Chelsea turned out to be stronger at this stage. However, there is still hope for success in the FA Cup, where there are already two stages behind them. In the Premier League championship, the Hotspurs are seventh after 20 rounds, being only two points away from the Champions League zone. In January Antonio Conte’s wards defeated Watford (1:0), Leicester (3:2) and once again lost to Chelsea (0:2). Tanganga, Skipp and Dyer, who has a hip injury, will not be able to play today.
Crystal Palace opened their tournament path in the FA Cup with a victory over Millwall (2:1), after which they easily beat Hartlepool United (2:0) at home. The team started well in the national championship, but closer to the middle of the season the “glaziers” lost concentration and slipped to 13th position. However, the potential of the capitals is serious and there is hope for the coaching talent of Patrick Vieira. Over 22 rounds the Eagles recorded five wins and nine draws, which brought 24 points and 13th place. After success in the game with today’s opponent (3:0), the Londoners got only one point in the game with Brighton (1:1) in three rounds. Today will not be able to play Kouyate, MacArthur and Tomkins, who has a muscle injury.
