4' Ward gets himself into trouble after being unable to clear Kane’s cross at the far post - effectively giving it to Doherty inside the penalty area. The full-back’s blushes are saved however thanks to Milivojevic, who tracks back and wins possession on the edge of the 18.
2' Riedewald is lucky to escape a yellow card two minutes into the match, after his sliding challenge takes the legs out from underneath Lucas. It’s just a free-kick for Spurs, though it could have been more.
1' Crystal Palace get the match underway from the kick-off!
Crystal Palace make a single change from the line-up that earned a 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Wednesday, as an injury to James McCarthy allows Riedewald to start in midfield.
Spurs make three changes from the XI that beat Fulham 1-0 last time out. Reguilon returns to left-back replacing Davies, while Winks is in for Ndombele in midfield. The final switch comes just behind Kane, where Lucas is preferred to Alli.
CRYSTAL PALACE SUBS: Scott Dann, Jeffrey Schlupp, Jack Butland, Connor Wickham, Michy Batshuayi, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Reece Hannam, Wilfried Zaha, Martin Kelly.
CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-4-2): Vicente Guaita; Joel Ward, Cheikhou Kouyate, Gary Cahill, Patrick Van Aanholt; Andros Townsend, Jairo Riedewald, Luka Milivojevic, Eberechi Eze; Jordan Ayew, Christian Benteke.
SPURS SUBS: Erik Lamela, Dele Alli, Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko, Ben Davies, Joe Hart, Tanguy Ndombele, Steven Bergwijn, Carlos Vinicius.

With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let's take a look at how the two sides will line up today - starting with our hosts!
It’s another season in mid-table for Crystal Palace, who find themselves eight points away from the relegation zone with 11 matches remaining in the season. That realisation seems to have set in, as Roy Hodgson’s side have failed to win in four of their last five matches. Despite the poor recent results, Palace will still be able to go within five points of Spurs should they win today, despite five places separating the two before the start of play today.
Jose Mourinho’s side will need a victory today if they wish to remain in the hunt for the fourth and final Champions League spot - as Spurs currently sit five points back of Chelsea having played a match less. With two wins and two clean sheets in their last two Premier League fixtures, there’s no doubt that Harry Kane and company will be entering this all-London affair in a state of real confidence.
