Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Crystal Palace later today as Ange Postecoglou looks to build on the wins in the past week; however, facing the Eagles could be a tricky tie given how they haven’t won any games in the new season and would be fired to get something on the table. And while the pressure would be on the Lilywhites to deliver yet again playing at Selhurst Park, the likes of Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson would be expected to deliver for the visitors.

And John Wenham, owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, has been backing the England international striker who signed for the North Londoners in the summer window to find himself on the scoresheets against the Eagles, as the podcast host acknowledges how Marc Guéhi has been enduring poor form this season in surprising turns of events. 

Solanke expected to shine against struggling Palace

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, Wenham expressed his confidence in the team to come out of the game with all three points. He said:

“Guéhi has seemingly downed tools since that failed transfer to Newcastle United. He didn’t even get in the last England squad, which is crazy when you consider he started every game at the Euros.

“I don’t want the whole Doctor Tottenham thing to re-emerge and suddenly Guéhi and Palace are flying on Sunday. However, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I’m quite confident we will go there, and we’ll win. I’m hopeful that Solanke will grab another goal because he certainly deserved one against West Ham.”

Going into the game, Spurs are the definite favourites to clinch the game at Selhurst Park; however, Tottenham are expected to be without Son Heung-min, which could prove tricky and make things difficult—like we saw against Brighton before the international break.

The travelling supporters would be hoping to get a look at academy graduate Mikey Moore, who could start ahead of underfire Werner in place of Son.

While Palace struggles are well documented, Solanke would be looking to put further woes in their season later today.
