OPINION

Tottenham Hotspur make the short trip south to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday, and Mauricio Pochettino must drop one of his favoured attacking four.

Spurs are coming into the match after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Rochdale in the FA Cup that leaves them facing a replay on Wednesday evening.

The Lilywhites looked like they were heading through after Harry Kane’s late penalty, but a last-gasp equaliser from Steve Davies secured a lucrative Wembley replay for the League One side.

That game followed another draw for Spurs, however that one was all the more impressive as they came back from an early two-goal deficit to come through 2-2 away against Juventus in the Champions League.

Attention now turns back to the Premier League, a competition in which Spurs won their last game, a 1-0 victory over bitter rivals Arsenal.

They now lie in fifth in the table, just one point behind Chelsea and two behind Liverpool in the race for Champions League qualification.

Opponents Palace are coming in off a disappointing 3-1 loss to Everton, and the Eagles currently sit just one point above the drop zone in 15th.

This is Futbol have selected the Spurs best XI v Palace, including one massive attacking decision among nine changes for Pochettino.
