Premier League

Harry Holmesdale gives us his betting tips for Crystal Palace's clash at Tottenham Hotspur.

Palace head to White Hart Lane aiming to bounce back from a tepid first-day defeat against West Bromwich Albion.

They were toothless in front of goal in the 1-0 loss with main striker Connor Wickham unable to get any shots away.

Spurs, meanwhile, pinched a point away at Everton in their opener (1-1), so expect another low-scoring affair here.

Eagles winger Andros Townsend was frozen out at Tottenham and returns to his former stomping ground with something to prove. He's been impressive over pre-season, so lay on him to score the first goal at 16/1 with Paddy Power or any time at 7/1, also with Paddy Power.

Palace nicked an FA Cup win last time out and you can back them to triumph again at a decent 7/1 with betVictor.

Alan Pardew's men have kept one clean sheet in their last six top-flight games with Tottenham and have gleaned just two league victories over 2016.

Therefore, Spurs are likely to be too strong and will triumph without conceding. Go for 1-0 at 6/1 with Paddy Power.
