Is Tottenham vs Crystal Palace going ahead? Match GOING AHEAD latest, TV channel, live stream free for Premier League
PATRICK VIEIRA will be absent as his Crystal Palace team take to the field for their Premier League clash against Tottenham.
The Eagles are sending a weakened team to White Hart Lane and will be without some first team stars, as well as their boss, to face Antonio Conte’s side.
The 1998 World Cup-winning midfielder and Arsenal legend Vieira tested positive for Covid and will not be in the dugout at Tottenham Stadium.
And Liverpool’s clash with Leeds being postponed means that now this game is scheduled to be televised live in the UK.
Spurs boss Conte says he will have a meeting with the club’s board soon to outline a strategy for the upcoming January transfer window – but is not taking his mind off the threat of Crystal Palace first.
The Italian said: “Now my focus is to work with the players to improve the situation. Then for sure we will have a meeting with the club to try understand if there is the possibility to improve the situation in terms of transfers.
“But now i think it is good to be focused on the pitch because we have a very important game against Crystal Palace.
“Don’t forget they beat Tottenham 3-0 earlier in the season and we have to make sure we prepare for this game very well because we want to get the three points.”
