England will look to get back to winning ways as the Lionesses host Belgium in the Women’s Nations League tonight in Leicester.

Is Crystal Palace vs Tottenham on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League fixture
Tottenham have the chance to go five points clear at the top of the Premier League table as they travel to Crystal Palace in a Friday night London derby. Spurs continued their best start to a league campaign since 1960-61 with Monday night’s 2-0 victory over Fulham, as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison saw Ange Postecoglou’s side return to the top of the standings. The victory means Postecoglou has taken a Premier League record 23 points from his first nine games in charge, but the Australian revealed afterwards that he was “really disappointed” with Tottenham’s second-half display. Tottenham will therefore be looking to maintain their high standards as they face the trip to Selhurst Park and take on a Crystal Palace side who were thrashed 4-0 by Newcastle last weekend. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash. When is Crystal Palace vs Tottenham? The match will kick off at 8pm GMT on Friday 27 October at Selhurst Park, London. How can I watch it? It will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting from 7pm. Sky subscribers can also stream the match live on Sky Go or Now TV.

Crystal Palace remain without Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise. Predicted line-ups Crystal Palace: Johnson; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Lerma, Doucoure, Hughes; Ayew, Mateta, Edouard Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Richarlison; Son Odds Palace 18/5 Draw 17/6 Spurs 10/13 Get latest match odds and tips here.
