Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of a place in next season’s Europa League hangs in the balance as they visit Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season.

Jose Mourinho’s side have been in resurgent form, winning their last three games in succession. However, even if they are victorious today, they’ll still require sixth-placed Wolves to drop points against Chelsea.

Palace had virtually secured their safety prior to the enforced break, yet, Roy Hodgson’s side have suffered from an alarming slump since the restart.

The Eagles have lost their last seven matches, tumbling down to 14th in the table, while they will also have to contend with an injury-stricken defence at Selhurst Park.

Prediction

Spurs are fighting for their chance to compete in next season's Europa League, while Palace have appeared punch-drunk in recent weeks, with the end unable to come soon enough. With Mourinho knowing a top-six finish would be a real vindication of his short tenure, having guided the club from 14th in November, and Harry Kane in flying form, Spurs should coast to a routine victory.
