Tottenham Hotspurs will face off against rival Crystal Palace on Saturday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

Tottenham Hotspurs, coming out of a 2-1 win over Manchester United, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

Tottenham Hotspurs Manager Tim Sherwood supports Erik Lamela saying he won't leave the team in January, SkySports.com reports.

"We know what a talented player Erik is and we also understand how players need time to settle," Sherwood said, according to the site.

"He's needing that time to acclimatise to a new country. He doesn't speak English and with the tempo of the games, especially over the Christmas period when they come thick and fast, he hasn't been 100 per cent fit."

Crystal Palace coming out of a 1-1 tie with Norwich City, is expected to be the underdog in the match.

Crystal Palace Manager Tony Pulis targets players with "something to prove" in the January transfer window, The Mirror reports.

"The important thing at this football club is that we bring players in who have got something to prove," Pulis said, according to the site.

"I don't want to be bringing in players who just want to jog through six months. We need people who are going to roll their sleeves up, work hard and make a difference and add to what we've got already.
