Tottenham Hotspur’s dream of a domestic double was ended by a bitterly disappointing 4-2 defeat by Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on Saturday evening.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men twice came from behind against the Blues and, for long spells, dominated possession, but the north Londoners failed to turn their superiority into goals and were sent spinning out of the competition courtesy of second half strikes by Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic.
The loss against Antonio Conte’s charges was only Spurs’ second defeat in 22 domestic matches and Pochettino’s team must pick themselves up if they are to keep up the pressure on the Premier League leaders in the race for the title; the visitors can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) with bet365 to bag a vital victory in south London.
Crystal Palace will certainly provide Tottenham with a tough test, for Sam Allardyce’s side are in fine form and the Eagles will come into this match in confident mood, having won six of their last eight Premier League games – a run of results that includes victories against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool respectively.
