Full analysis
Tottenham sit 14th on 9 points (GD -2) and arrive on back-to-back league wins, 2-0 at Chelsea and 3-1 against Coventry. Crystal Palace are 17th on 7 points with a GD of -10 and have lost their last two league games 0-5 at Brighton and 0-2 at home to Newcastle. Bookmakers rate Spurs clearly the stronger side.
Palace concede 2.3 goals per away game, have kept one clean sheet in eight and have Europa League fixtures stretching the squad. Riad and Tomiyasu are out, while Strand Larsen and Timber are doubts. Spurs are thinner than ideal, with Bentancur suspended, Simons, Odobert and Mudryk out and Maddison a late call. Spurs' home record is only W1-D1-L2.
Medium rather than High because Spurs' absences are significant and Palace have won three of the last four meetings, including twice in north London. It is not lower because the table, Spurs' recent league form, Palace's defensive record and the market all lean the same way. A draw returns the stake.
The numbers behind it
This competition over the last 12 months (371 matches): 2.75 goals a game, over 2.5 goals in 53%, both teams scored in 56%, 9.9 corners, 4.2 cards a game.
