Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace Preview

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace

Competition – English Premier League

Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Date: 5th March 2026

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday evening for a 20:00 GMT kick-off in the Premier League. Spurs arrive in the worse form of the two sides — they have not won in five matches, losing four and drawing one. Their most recent result was a 1-2 away defeat at Fulham on 1st March. Prior to that, they lost 1-4 at home to Arsenal on 22nd February and also lost 1-2 at home to Newcastle United on 10th February. Earlier in this sequence, they lost 0-2 away at Manchester United on 7th February, with a 2-2 home draw against Manchester City on 1st February their only point from the last five outings. That is a deeply concerning run — four defeats and 12 goals conceded across the sequence — and their season stats tell a similar story: 37 goals scored, a goal difference of -4, and 41 conceded. A home match against Crystal Palace offers the opportunity to stop the rot, but Spurs need a response and they need it urgently.

Crystal Palace travel to north London having also lost their most recent match, a 1-2 away defeat at Manchester United on 1st March. Prior to that, they won 2-0 at home to Zrinjski Mostar in the Conference League knockout stage on 26th February and also won 1-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 22nd February. Earlier in the sequence, they drew 1-1 away at Zrinjski Mostar in the first leg of that Conference League tie on 19th February and lost 2-3 at home to Burnley on 11th February. It is a mixed picture — two wins, one draw and two losses — but Palace’s league form has been reasonable in isolation, with the Wolverhampton win particularly encouraging. Their season stats show 29 goals scored, a goal difference of -3, and 32 conceded, which is modest but reflects a side that has been competitive without being consistently excellent. With just 15 assists across the campaign, Palace’s creativity has been limited, but they may find Thursday’s opponents in disarray.

The head-to-head record edges in Tottenham’s favour, with three wins to Crystal Palace’s two and no draws across the last five meetings. Most recently, Spurs won 1-0 away at Crystal Palace on 28th December 2025. Palace’s most significant recent result in this fixture was a 2-0 away win at Tottenham on 11th May 2025, and they also won 1-0 at home on 27th October 2024. Both sides have shown they can win away in this fixture, which makes the home advantage slightly less decisive than it might otherwise be — particularly given Spurs’ current poor form at their own ground.
