Match preview

Jose Mourinho has been vocal about his desire for Tottenham to qualify for the Europa League and his players can do their part of the equation by beating Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Spurs are certain of at least seventh spot, which would be good enough if Chelsea win the FA Cup final against Arsenal. But Mourinho won't want to rely on that outcome. Only the top six are guaranteed to get in the Europa League and Tottenham can jump above Wolves if they better Wanderers' result at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs could not really have asked for an easier away clash than a trip to their fellow Londoners Palace to try to seal the deal.

Tottenham tend to beat Palace in the Premier League - no Eagles player has scored in the fixture since January 2015 while four of their last five top-flight visits to Selhurst ended in 1-0 wins.

A 1-0 away success at 7-1 looks a decent option again, although a safer play could be to take Mourinho's men to win in a game featuring under 3.5 goals.

Tottenham have tightened up defensively with only two goals conceded in their last five games and the wins over Everton and Leicester showed that Mourinho wants the game shut down as soon as his side are in command.

Outside of Wilfried Zaha, Palace don't have the personnel to unlock the opposition and their season is ending in a miserable fashion after losing their last seven matches, six of them to nil.

Key stat

Tottenham have won their last seven league games against Crystal Palace without conceding.
