Minute-by-minute report: Will Tottenham bounce back from their defeat to Aston Villa at Crystal Palace? Join Will Unwin to find out
It is fair to say that Tottenham were ruddy awful in their defeat to Aston Villa at the weekend. They lacked any form of creativity and were easily broken down by Unai Emery’s men. Since then Antonio Conte has hinted he might leave the club, not for the first time, and bemoaned most things about the team.
Crystal Palace bounced back from their Boxing Day defeat at home to Fulham, which saw them finish with nine players, by downing Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve. Patrick Vieira’s side sit 11th in the table but the manager wants more and the way of getting that is by making some January signings. They could make themselves a more attractive prospect to potential signings by down Spurs tonight.
If Palace do win, who knows what will happen to Conte? The fans generally agree that the football is pretty awful, lacking anything in the way of threat. They have suffered injury problems in recent times but they should be really better than a side that has conceded the first goal in their past six matches.

‘Distortion of the truth’: Press weren’t being ‘spoon-fed’ stories about Harry and MeghanDaily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers says the issue he and many of his colleagues have is that “nobody was being called up” by the Royal Family nor were they being “spoon-fed” stories about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Mr Myers’ remarks come after in a sneak peak of CBS' 60 Minutes interview with Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex accused the Royal Family of “planting stories” against him and his wife Meghan Markle. “Our jobs would be an awful lot easier if that was actually happening,” he told Sky News host James Morrow. “Of course, there were conversations, of course, there were briefings about stories that our sources would give us, and we had to go to Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace to check. “But I think it’s a complete distortion of the truth to suggest that that was the only way that that stories about them were appearing in the press because it simply wasn’t true.”
