Here is the latest team news and confirmed lineups for this evening\u2019s Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace. Following two defeats in his first two matches in charge, Igor Tudor is searching for his first Premier League points. Spurs\u2019 last league victory came against Palace at Selhurst Park in December.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner\u2019s side have been in inconsistent form recently, winning just two of their previous six league games. Palace will want a positive result to regain momentum as they balance their league form with a promising UEFA Conference League campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tottenham Team News<\/b><\/h3>\n

Thursday will be the last match of Cristian Romero\u2019s suspension<\/a> following his red card in the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Djed Spence, who missed the defeat to Fulham, remains ruled out. In Wednesday\u2019s press conference<\/a>, Tudor confirmed: \u201cDjed is out, he\u2019s not ready for the game.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spence may return for next Tuesday\u2019s European clash against Atletico Madrid, however, as Tudor said: \u201cWe hope [he returns] for the Champions League.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While there are no new injury concerns, returns remain unlikely with Tudor explaining there was \u201cno other news\u201d regarding injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Injured: Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Mohamed Kudus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maxence Lacroix is suspended for the trip to north London. The French defender was sent off in the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are no fresh injury concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jefferson Lerma is set to return in a limited capacity. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Glasner said:<\/a> \u201cLerma is back in the squad but not ready to start.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean-Philippe Mateta\u2019s return is also imminent, Glasner added: \u201cHe now has only four or five days to wait and then he will be hopefully back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Tottenham clash appears slightly too soon with upcoming matches providing a realistic chance for the striker\u2019s return. Glasner confirmed: \u201cThe goal is that he is available for the Larnaca and Leeds games.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Palace\u2019s striking department is further limited by the fact that \u201cEddie Nketiah won\u2019t be available before April.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
