Tottenham Hotspur welcome Crystal Palace to their new stadium tonight.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino spoke to reporters during his pre-match press conference yesterday, and ruled Eric Dier and Fernando Llorente out of tonight’s clash with Crystal Palace, as quoted by Football.London.
Spurs currently sit in fourth spot in the Premier League table, two points adrift of bitter rivals Arsenal, but they can leapfrog Unai Emery’s side with a win over the Eagles tonight.
The north London outfit will have to make do without two key players for tonight’s clash with Crystal Palace, however.
Pochettino spoke to reporters yesterday, and responded when asked whether Eric Dier is fit for tonight’s game at their new stadium, as quoted by Football.London:
“No. Fernando won’t either, concussion because of the protocol.”
Tottenham have taken just one point from their last five Premier League games, so a win tonight is an about necessity for Pochettino’s side.
And The Argentine will be hoping that his Spurs side do not miss Dier and Llorente too much.
Tottenham certainly have enough options, however, and if they play anywhere near their best, they should have no problem beating Palace.
