Whilst one team still has faint hopes of sealing a top-half finish, the other is enduring a miserable domestic campaign and are simply out to avoid finishing one place above the relegation zone.
Having said that, the latest meeting between Spurs and Palace will be interesting as both certainly have bigger fish to fry, given this game takes place before the respective Europa League and FA Cup finals.
Such is the importance of both fixtures that it may have an impact on the London derby.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 2.15pm BST kick-off today, Sunday, May 11, 2025.
The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, north London.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace team news
James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Radu Dragusin are out for the season, whilst changes are expected now that a Europa League Final place has been secured.
Kevin Danso, Archie Gray, Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert and Ben Davies are among the Spurs players who are likely to get a run out with the likes of Micky van de Ven and Brennan Johnson rested.
Palace will be without influential midfielder Adam Wharton after he limped off in the second half against Nottingham Forest. However, there is a growing expectation that he will be available for the FA Cup final.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace prediction
Tottenham will want to end a miserable Premier League season on a high, but Palace are very good away from home.
However, with cup finals looming, it would not be a surprise if Postecoglou and Oliver Glasner name heavily rotated teams. As a result, a low intensity London derby could see both sides cancelling each other out in a score draw.
