Looking to build on a solid second-half performance from their opener, Tottenham Hotspur begin the home portion of their 2016-17 Premier League campaign Saturday against Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane.Mauricio Pochettinos club endured a summer of stability while adding defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama and Dutch international striker Vincent Janssen, both of whom featured in their 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison Park last weekend.It was a nightmare start as Spurs fell behind after only five minutes thanks to a goal from Ross Barkley. But they turned things around to dominate the final 40 minutes and drew the equaliser just before the hour mark on the strength of a goal from Erik Lamela.Despite rescuing a point, things took a turn for the worse as starting goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was forced off due to injury in the 36th minute. Michel Vorm replaced the Frenchman and is set to slot in for Lloris, who is out of action for four weeks with a hamstring injury.You see the way we train and I work hard every day just to be ready, Vorm told the clubs official website. Thats how I am. Im a professional. The situation is different now for me but in many ways, I do what I always have done. Thats a strength, I think. You need to be ready.You always have to keep in mind that something might happen, it hasnt in the last few seasons, it did here, added Vorm, who has now made 21 appearances for the club in all competitions. You can see again that something can change in a minute. Its always strange when you have to come on in these circumstances, but if you can make an impact in a positive result then happy days!Crystal Palace are also aiming for their first win following last weeks 1-0 defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park. The lone tally came on a 74th-minute strike by Salomon Rondon.Palace had the better of the play against West Brom, keeping more of the possession and forcing Baggies goalkeeper Ben Foster into 15 saves but were undone by that one excellent strike by Rondon.Our record of scoring goals is not great, manager Alan Pardew said. We need to address that because it was evident again that we lack a cutting edge. If we had scored first I think wed have won. I think overall we played well and we had a big chance at 0-0 when Wilfried (Zaha) should definitely have scored.Thats the area he needs to improve on. Its a fantastic chance and Wilf has got to learn to put those away.Pardews club head into Saturdays clash with the squad a bit thinner after forward Yannick Bolasie was sold to Everton for a reported 25 million pound fee, while former captain Mile Jedinak joined Aston Villa.Mile has been an influential figure at Palace since joining five years ago, Pardew said. He has been a super player and instrumental in our progress as a club. We thank him for his commitment in a Palace shirt and wish him the best of luck in his next chapter at Aston Villa.The clubs have split the last four fixtures, while Palace claimed the most recent meeting between the sides with a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Martin Kelly.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Pistons are ready to move downtown -- into what is already being billed as one of the most unique sports neighborhoods in the nation.The Pistons formally announced plans Tuesday to move into Little Caesars Arena next season and share that new venue with the Detroit Red Wings, a relocation that would put all four of the citys major sports teams within a few blocks of each other. The arena is being built in the same part of downtown where the Tigers and Lions host their games at Comerica Park and Ford Field, respectively.Tuesdays news conference was held in a room at Cass Tech High School that had a view of all three of those nearby sports venues.This is the only city now with all four teams in the downtown area, Mayor Mike Duggan said. You can walk within 10 minutes to all of them. You can go around the country, and there are cities where all four teams are somewhere in the border of their city. In Denver, theyve got basketball and hockey and baseball downtown, and the Broncos play a mile outside.Duggan said after moving downtown next season, the Pistons will have their headquarters and a practice facility in the city by 2018.Duggan called the agreement for the Pistons to move preliminary and said final agreements would likely be approved early next year by Detroits Downtown Development Authority, the Michigan Strategic Fund and the Detroit City Council. The agreement calls for a contribution of $34.5 million from the DDA to cover modifications to the new arena to accommodate an NBA team.Duggan said by law, those funds can only be used for infrastructure and economic development downtown.These funds have to be spent on economic development purposes in this region, and we couldnt think of anything more important than bringing the Pistons back home, he said.Michael LaFaive of the Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy was critical of the plan, saying taxpayers shouldnt be put in a position to back business ventures of private entrepreneurs.Let entrepreneurs risk their own resources and flourish or flounder on their own accord, he said in an email.Duggan and Pistons owner Tom Gores were at the news conference, along with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Ilitch Holdings President and CEO Christopher Ilitch. The Red Wings are owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch, and Gores said the oppportunity to partner with them played a big role in the decision to move.ddddddddddddI thought this would be a great partnership, and I would tell you, if I didnt feel it, then we have a home, and we wouldve stayed there, Gores said. But theres a bigger picture here.The Red Wings are in their final season at Joe Louis Arena before the NHL team moves to Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons have played at The Palace of Auburn Hills since 1988 and were at the Pontiac Silverdome for a decade before that.The Pistons were downtown when they called Cobo Arena home from 1961-78 before heading to Pontiac and then Auburn Hills. The Palace is about 30 miles from downtown Detroit.Watching our city decline over the years has been difficult, but emotionally, the most painful experiences were when our sports franchises either left town or tried to leave town, Duggan said.The Lions also played at the Silverdome before moving to Ford Field in 2002. Now, the Pistons are eager to make the same move to downtown Detroit.Weve seen these trends of our teams moving really from suburban areas outside of urban areas, back into downtown areas, Silver said. Little Caesars Arena is just another fantastic example of that trend.The Pistons move is subject to NBA approval and is expected to be presented to the board of governors sometime after Jan. 1.The Palace was built with private funds by William Davidson, who owned the Pistons before his death in 2009. The team has won three championships in Auburn Hills, although the atmosphere slipped in recent years as the Pistons went through a rough stretch.Detroit returned to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2009.Gores bought the Pistons from Karen Davidson in 2011, and by that point, the team had become a suburban outlier, with the Lions having moved downtown to play alongside the Ilitch-owned Tigers and Red Wings.Now, Gores is joining forces with the Ilitches and moving his team into that same area.This community is getting the world-class sports and entertainment district it deserves, Christopher Ilitch said. A perfect addition to a city in the midst of an incredible and historic transformation.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Authentic Nike Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Tennessee Titans Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Washington Redskins Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Denver Broncos Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Green Bay Packers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike New England Patriots Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Oakland Raiders Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Seattle Seahawks Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Carolina Panthers Jerseys Cheap Authentic Nike Cleveland Browns Jerseys Cheap Cheap Throwback Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Atlanta Braves Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Baltimore Orioles Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Boston Red Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago Cubs Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Chicago White Sox Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cincinnati Reds Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Cleveland Indians Jerseys ' ' '
