Andre Villas-Boas: Crystal Palace game will be "difficult"

Andre Villas-Boas is fearful of the atmosphere at Selhurst Park ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's trip there.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that his side's Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on Sunday will be "difficult"

Spurs travel to newly promoted Palace and AVB said that the atmosphere created at Selhurst Park will make it hostile for his side.

"It will be a difficult game because of Selhurst Park," Sky Sports News quotes Villas-Boas as saying.

"As a stadium, it's very hard to play in and, there will be lots of emotion and intensity. And it's always difficult to play against a team that has just come up.

"We have to be disciplined and hopefully with the quality we have, we hope that can make the difference and we hope can bring back the three points."

The game kicks off at 1.30pm.
