Here's the match thread from our 1-0 win earlier in the season
Team News
Danny Rose is back in training, but likely too soon for contention. Ben Davies is fit. Michel Vorm is out until May, while Erik Lamela and Harry Winks are both ruled out for the season.
Palace must do without defender James Tomkins, with the former West Ham United centre-back likely to miss the rest of the season with a leg injury.
Scott Dann also remains out so Martin Kelly will keep his place alongside Mamadou Sakho, who returns after being ineligible to face the Reds. Connor Wickham and Pape Souare are long-term absentees.
Match Facts
Palace have lost each of their last three league games against Tottenham; they haven't lost four successive games since their first five encounters with Spurs in the top flight (Aug 1969 - Sept 1971).
Tottenham haven't won an away top-flight London derby since their last visit to Selhurst Park in January 2016, failing to win each of the last four trips in London (D2 L2)
Harry Kane has scored 18 goals in 24 London derbies in the Premier League - the Spurs striker has the best goals per game ratio in history in such derbies (0.75 goals per game) of players to play in five or more
