Team News: Harry Kane, Roberto Soldado lead Tottenham Hotspur line against Crystal Palace

Tottenham Hotspur decide on a strike partnership of Harry Kane and Roberto Soldado as they welcome visiting Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino has decided to start both Harry Kane and Roberto Soldado up front as they welcome Crystal Palace in the Premier League this afternoon.

The hosts are to feature a 4-4-2 formation, with midfield support coming from Erik Lamela, Nabil Bentaleb, Ryan Mason and Christian Eriksen, while Eric Dier slots in for the injured Vlad Chiriches at right-back.

Meanwhile, visiting Palace will start with lone striker Marouane Chamakh in attack, while a fit-again Joe Ledley helps to make up a five-man midfield that also features the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie.

The away side will look for some defensive strength through a centre-back pairing of Scott Dann and Brede Hangeland, who will be helped out in the full-back positions by Martin Kelly and Joel Ward.

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Lamela, Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen; Kane, Soldado

Crystal Palace: Speroni; Kelly, Dann, Hangeland, Ward, Bolasie, Jedinak, Ledley, McArthur, Zaha, Chamakh
