Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham Hotspur: game time, TV channels, how to watch

At last, the 2019-20 Premier League season has come to a close. The past year has been exhausting for Tottenham Hotspur supporters, to say the least, starting from a depressing Champions League Final. Since then we have seen beloved Mauricio Pochettino separated from the team, big losses to Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig in Europe, and plenty of frustrating results domestically, leading to the club’s lowest points total since 2008-09 (51).

That being said, there are still a few bright spots as the season winds down. Spurs are assured at least a top seven finish in the table and will end ahead of Arsenal for the fourth year in a row. Though the Champions League campaign was not that impressive, it was the third straight season that Tottenham made it to the knockout rounds. And while the club will not return to the competition next year, Jose Mourinho has kept the team at a top four points pace since taking over.

While it is not as exciting as the Champions League, Spurs have a shot at the Europa League for next season. It would still be a financial benefit for the club to be playing in Europe, and it could provide some opportunities for younger players to gain some valuable experience. Here are the three scenarios for Tottenham to earn a spot in the Europa League:

• Spurs win, Wolves draw/lose
• Spurs draw, Wolves lose
• Chelsea wins FA Cup (next Saturday)

Essentially Spurs just need a better result against Crystal Palace today than Wolves get against Chelsea; this would result in Tottenham jumping up to sixth place. If this were not to happen, it will then come down to the FA Cup Final next weekend. A Chelsea win would give seventh place (Spurs) a Europa bid; an Arsenal win would give it to the FA Cup winners instead. Always fun counting on a rival to determine one’s fate...

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
• We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
• Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
• Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
