Tottenham team news: Ben Davies starts at left-wing back as Kyle Walker returns

Ben Davies has been included in Tottenham's starting line-up for this evening's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Kane.

Tottenham subs: Lopez, Trippier, Wimmer, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Son, Janssen.

Crystal Palace XI: Hennessey, Ward, Kelly, Sakho, Schlupp, Milivojevic, Puncheon, McArthur, Zaha, Townsend, Benteke.

Crystal Palace subs: Speroni, Van Aanholt, Delaney, Cabaye, Sako, Flamini, Campbell.

What they're saying

Mauricio Pochettino: "We need to be strong. We need to be aware of that, they will fight a lot to try to beat us.

"When you are playing for the title, playing to be in the top four, what that game means is so important."

Sam Allardyce: "The players have done a fantastic job but I just hope they don’t come off the gas and think we've done it.

"I hope the game is big enough [against Tottenham] to ensure that they don’t take their foot off the gas.”
