With Tottenham aiming for a third consecutive win this weekend against Crystal Palace, Spurs Web has put together the starting XI we believe can help Tottenham secure all three points.

Tottenham Hotspur will look to make it three Premier League wins in a row as they take on Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

The Lilywhites have revived their league campaign with back-to-back victories, including a 2-0 win over Chelsea last time out, after opening the 2026-27 season with a six-match winless run.

They now sit 14th in the table, just four points behind the fifth-placed Blues.

Meanwhile, their opponents this weekend, Crystal Palace, have endured a disappointing start to life in the Premier League under manager Pierre Sage. The Eagles have lost five of their eight league encounters and find themselves in 17th place.

Spurs Web revealed that Tottenham could decide the future of the Palace boss following the sack decision made by those higher up, which only makes Saturday’s encounter even more exciting.

Should the Lilywhites beat their London rivals, then Sage could well lose his job. Ahead of the crucial encounter, Spurs Web has now put together the XI we desperately want Roberto De Zerbi to name as Tottenham aim to keep the winning run going.

Tottenham XI we want Roberto De Zerbi to pick against Crystal Palace

Antonin Kinsky managed his third clean sheet of the season against Chelsea in what was an overall impressive display.

The Czech international did not just make crucial saves, but was equally as good with the ball at his feet when Tottenham were pressed by the Blues. We expect him to once again start here, not like there has ever been a change in the goalkeeping department this season.

In front of Kinsky, Pedro Porro has returned since picking up an injury in the Villa game last month, having featured from the bench against Chelsea.

We do expect him to start here instead of De Zerbi turning to a makeshift option in Archie Gray. At centre-back, we want to see the main partnership of Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke.

The pair have looked really good in their last few outings and are finally starting to show an understanding.

At left-back, with Destiny Udogie out, Spurs do have Robertson as a like-for-like replacement for the Italian and we would love to see the veteran line up at the back.

The full-back brings some much-needed creativity from the flanks, having created the most big chances of any Tottenham player.

Robertson could well have added to his assist tally had Marmoush converted the one big chance he created.

Marmoush gets the nod as Spurs await Maddison update

Moving into midfield, we only want to see one change to the midfield setup from the Chelsea game. James Maddison looks to have picked up a knock last weekend, suffering what looked like a groin injury, and could well miss out this weekend.

We await official confirmation on the severity and length of the midfielder’s absence and, should he be out for long, we want to see De Zerbi turn to Omar Marmoush in the number 10 spot.

Spurs Web highlighted three players who could come in to replace Maddison against Palace, and one of our solutions was having the Egyptian play behind a centre-forward.

Doing that would help keep goals in the side as well as bring some creativity. Conor Gallagher, though, remains an option, but with this being a home match and Spurs likely to see more of the ball, we would rather have Marmoush come in as the 10.

That simply means that behind Marmoush we want to see both Fernandes and Tonali remain in the side. Fernandes had his best game yet in a Tottenham shirt and it only makes sense that he continues in that position to build some rhythm and confidence.

Meanwhile, Tonali continues to go from strength to strength with every performance and he remains one of the first names on the teamsheet.

In attack, we would love a front three of Kudus, Dominic Solanke and Tel. Savio remains a doubt, which means the forward line could pretty much remain unchanged.

De Zerbi believes that it was his wingers against Chelsea who were the match-winners, and we do agree with that assessment. With the formula having worked last time out, there is no reason to change.

In all, here is the Tottenham XI we want to see against Palace: Kinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Fernandes, Tonali, Marmoush; Kudus, Solanke, Tel.
