Tottenham Hotspur face a home tie against Crystal Palace in the Premier League weekend as they look to make it three wins in a row in the competition.
The Lilywhites looked down and out in the race for the top four a week ago but victories over Burnley and Fulham have hauled them right back in.
Coming into the weekend of fixtures, the Lilywhites are now just five points behind Chelsea in fourth but have a game in hand on their London rivals.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are down in 13th, hovering above the relegation battle but below the fight for European football next season.
Palace have just one win from their last five in the Premier League, with Tottenham’s recent form now looking rosier with three wins from their last five outings.

He said: ‘Tottenham are hitting form at just the right time. Three wins in a week has breathed life back into their chances of finishing the season amongst the top six.
