The Premier League resumes once again after the international break with a London derby as it will be Crystal Palace vs Tottenham.
Going by recent history, this fixture doesn’t offer much in terms of goals. The last six meetings between the sides have seen less than three goals scored with Spurs winning three out of those and the last two being draws.
Palace are winless so far this season, compared to their visitors managing two draws in three games.
While Tottenham are supposedly favourites going into the fixture at the top of the league, it is worthy of note that Nuno’s side have only scored three goals this season with 1-0 wins in each of their games.
Their attacking struggles perhaps becomes more complicated as they are set to miss Son Heung-Min who sustained an injury on international duty.
Spurs also have a number of injury concerns such as Bergwijn, Sessegnon and Skipp. They also have players locked in quarantine such as Lo Celso, Sanchez and Romero.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have been boosted by the addition of Odsonne Edouard and a return from injury for Michael Olise.

It remains to be seen if they can muster up something against the league’s best defence so far. Spurs have been rock solid at the back, keeping a clean sheet in all their games.
One major fact to note is that Spurs have scored in all but one of their previous meeting away to Crystal Palace. However, with the injuries it may be difficult for them in attack.
