Tottenham and Crystal Palace clash in a Premier League London derby on Sunday, although both sides will likely be distracted by more important matches to come this month.
Spurs produced a professional display to win 2-0 at Bodo/Glimt on Thursday and reach the UEFA Europa League final with a 5-1 aggregate semifinal victory. They will face Manchester United in that showpiece in Bilbao on May 21.
Palace’s big day is a little sooner. They will meet Manchester City at Wembley on May 17 in the FA Cup final, when they will attempt to win a major trophy for the first time, having been beaten by Man United when they last reached the final in 2016.
It all means that Sunday’s league game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could end up being little more than a warm-up for these teams, although it could offer the chance for some fringe players to stake a claim for the starting XI in those finals if they can impress Ange Postecoglou and Oliver Glasner.

Postecoglou will almost certainly rotate his side after their midweek trip to Norway and with one eye on that showdown in Spain with Man United.
Kevin Danso and Djed Spence could come into the defence to give Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie a rest, while Archie Gray and Pape Matar Sarr are pushing for starts in midfield.
With Son Heung-min still recovering from injury, Wilson Odobert could come into the attack.
Tottenham predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, Danso, Spence — Gray, Sarr, Kulusevski — Odobert, Solanke, Tel
Injured: Dragusin (knee), Maddison (knee), Bergvall (ankle), Son (ankle/foot)
Suspended: None

Palace will also have one eye on their biggest game of the season: the FA Cup final against Man City is only a week away, and Glasner will be wary of taking too many risks with his key players.
Adam Wharton was taken off during the draw with Nottingham Forest due to a twisted ankle, and he will be kept back for the final. Otherwise, Glasner has a fully fit squad to choose from, aside from long-term absentees Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad, so expect a few changes.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Ward, Lacroix, Lerma — Munoz, Hughes, Kamada, Chilwell — Sarr, Devenny — Nketiah
Injured: Wharton (ankle), Doucoure (knee), Riad (knee)
Suspended: None
