Tottenham projected forwards

With everyone seemingly back healthy and fit we see Tottenham’s top three back together in the attack.

Right forward – Lucas Moura

Lucas Moura was back to some of his better form against West Ham, picking up the ball in space and driving with it on the dribble. Moura also showed an eye for and the ability to play a killer pass with an excellent forward ball to Harry Kane. Add a goal to his tally on the night and you can say Moura was darn good against the Hammers and will hope to carry that form against Palace.

Center-forward – Harry Kane

Despite not being a part of either goal against the Hammers, there is no doubt that Harry Kane is starting for Tottenham. Kane worked hard all evening but other than the one nice opportunity Moura created early, was starved for service. However, having scored against the Reds, Kane will be looking to make it two in two in the league.

Left forward – Heung-min Son

Having missed a good opportunity against West Ham, Heung-min Son will be looking to get an opportunity to score on Sunday. The odds seem likely given Son had scored in every December game for Spurs prior to the match with the Hammers. With goals against Brentford, Norwich, and Liverpool; the South Korean is flying under Conte.
