**Selhurst Park will be the scene of a crucial Premier League clash on Sunday, October 27th, as Crystal Palace welcome their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Kick-off is scheduled for 2 PM (UK time).**

While the match won’t be broadcast live in the UK, highlights will be available on BBC2’s Match of the Day 2 at 10:30 PM.

The encounter carries significant weight for both sides, with Crystal Palace desperate for a much-needed win. The Eagles sit in the relegation zone with just three points from eight matches, their latest defeat coming against Nottingham Forest.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are enjoying a positive run of form, winning seven of their last eight matches across all competitions. However, their away form remains inconsistent, having only won one of their four away games this season.

Palace are expected to be without injured players Chadi Riad, Chris Richards, and Matheus Franca, but midfielder Cheick Doucoure is nearing a return. Tottenham, meanwhile, have a number of injury concerns, including Djed Spence and a potential absence for Son Heung-min.

With both teams looking to improve their positions in the table, this London derby promises to be a thrilling encounter. Crystal Palace will be seeking their first win of the season, while Tottenham will be aiming to capitalize on their strong form and solidify their place in the top half of the table.
