It seems churlish to try and pick holes in the start Tottenham have made under Ange Postecoglou , as things could hardly have gone any better, but that is what I am here for and they do give you chances and Fulham, if they had not been as toothless, should definitely have scored in a 2-0 defeat in North London on Monday. Two things about that, it makes for a quick turnaround for Spurs and goals change games and if the Cottagers had scored one, then who knows. We can expect a reaction from Palace after a no show in Newcastle last weekend where they started sloppily and fell out of the blocks. That is not really them under Roy Hodgson, who always has his team well set up and tactically ready to play to their strengths, goals are always likely to be in short supply, but I was impressed by them at Lionel Road recently and they have the ability to at least trouble the highflying visitors . The last two h2h meetings at Selhurst Park have finished 3-0 and 0-4 and despite that heavy loss last season, Palace were the better team in the first half and went in at 0-0 when they should have been ahead and bossed three of the four halves played and that gives them something to build on. Since Hodgson returned, the Eagles have been very good next time out after a defeat with  10 points and eight goals from four games, including a win at Old Trafford. Palace to come out firing...........

There are plenty of holes in the Wolves numbers , but they are on a roll and bossed Liverpool here at Molineux for an hour or so, then beat Manchester City and drew with Villa ( despite playing with ten men) and last time out came from behind to win at Bournemouth and although the Cherries were not helped by a dismissal , Wanderers really played some inventive offensive football once they got back on level terms and are clearly brimful of confidence. United must be tired after an exhausting game with Dortmund on Wednesday on a heavy pitch in gruelling conditions, against a team who press very hard and have had to carry the disappointment of that defeat into Thursday. Which I assume will either be a day off or very light day at the training centre, leaving only Friday to fully prepare for Wolves and also for travel. The hosts will have been able to put in four full training sessions just with the United game in mind and still have plenty of time to rest and recover and it really is an enormous advantage. Having more than held their own with Pool, City and Villa, they are not going to fear the Magpies and they are unbeaten in five h2h meetings as host (both teams scored in each) and their odds feel too big.
