Both London clubs are preparing for huge finals
Tottenham host Crystal Palace in a London derby from the Premier League this weekend.
Whilst one team still has faint hopes of sealing a top-half finish, the other is enduring a miserable domestic campaign and are simply out to avoid finishing one place above the relegation zone.
Having said that, the latest meeting between Spurs and Palace will be interesting as both certainly have bigger fish to fry, given this game takes place before the respective Europa League and FA Cup finals.
Ange Postecoglou’s side overcame Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night to set up an all-English European final against Manchester United, whilst it’s Manchester City at Wembley for the Eagles next weekend.
Such is the importance of both fixtures that it may have an impact on the London derby.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 2.15pm BST kick-off on Sunday, May 11, 2025.
The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, north London.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be televised live.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Dan Kilpatrick at the ground.
Free highlights: The Sky Sports app and YouTube channel will show highlights shortly after full-time, with Match of the Day 2 broadcasting on BBC One at 10.30pm BST.
Tottenham will make a late check on captain Heung-min Son who has missed the last six games with a troublesome foot injury. The forward did train ahead of the Bodo/Glimt second leg but wasn’t risked for the trip to Norway.
James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Radu Dragusin are out for the season, whilst changes are expected now that a Europa League Final place has been secured.
Kevin Danso, Archie Gray, Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert and Ben Davies are among the Spurs players who are likely to get a run out with the likes of Micky van de Ven and Brennan Johnson rested.
Palace hope to have influential midfielder Adam Wharton available for selection after he limped off in the second half against Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham will want to end a miserable Premier League season on a high, but Palace are very good away from home.
However, with cup finals looming, it would not be a surprise if Postecoglou and Oliver Glasner name heavily rotated teams. As a result, a low intensity London derby could see both sides cancelling each other out in a score draw.
