- Kick-off is 4:30pm GMT on Sunday, 28 December at Selhurst Park, live on Sky Sports Premier League/Main Event with streaming via Sky Go and NOW, plus BBC Radio 5 Live commentary.
- Tottenham are without suspended pair Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons, with Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr away at AFCON and injuries reported to James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Destiny Udogie and Dominic Solanke.
- Crystal Palace contend with Daichi Kamada and Daniel Muñoz sidelined, Eddie Nketiah a doubt and Ismaïla Sarr at AFCON following a draining Carabao Cup exit to Arsenal on penalties.
- Spurs have won only one of their last eight Premier League matches and sit around 14th, seeking a stabilising performance after a 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool that brought the red cards causing Romero and Simons’ bans.
- Palace look to regroup at home after a 4-1 loss at Leeds and a recent winless run at Selhurst Park, with coverage framing the fixture as a reset opportunity shaped by selection constraints and tight scheduling.
