Keep up with live updates as Crystal Palace takes on Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League. Here at The Independent, we’ll provide complete coverage of another exciting top-tier season, as defending champions Manchester City aim for an extraordinary fifth consecutive title by the conclusion of the 2024/25 season.
The hosts have had a lackluster beginning to the new season, putting Oliver Glasner in a tough spot, even after a strong finish last year. They have yet to win a match and have managed to gather only three points from their first eight league matches this season. Recently, they’ve suffered three consecutive losses and have found the net just once during that stretch.
The Spurs have the opportunity to climb to fifth place if they secure a victory in this match. Under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, the team seems to have hit a good stride recently, having won three out of their last four games and making solid progress in European competitions. Keep up with the latest live updates from the Premier League below:

In the meantime, Ange Postecoglou has given 17-year-old sensation Mikey Moore his debut Premier League start at Selhurst Park. Moore steps in for the injured Son Heung-Min, making him the sole alteration from last weekend’s victory against West Ham in the London derby. Following his standout performance in Thursday’s Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar, where he drew comparisons to Neymar, the young talent is set to play on the left side of Spurs’ attacking trio, partnering with Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson.

Oliver Glasner has made three alterations to the lineup following the team’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Monday night. Jean-Philippe Mateta is back in the starting squad, with Eddie Nketiah moving to the bench. Although Adam Wharton has been dealing with a lingering groin issue, he is included in the team, which means Will Hughes is left out. Ismaila Sarr takes over Daichi Kamada's spot in the attack. Additionally, goalkeeper Matt Turner is back in the matchday squad after being unable to play in the last match against his parent club.
