BOTH Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur have denied reports that tomorrow's game might be cancelled over fears about a planned protest for Mark Duggan.
However, fans are being urged to revise their travel plans - including advice to avoid Seven Sisters tube stop, the closest underground station to White Hart Lane.
The Sun reported earlier that talks were taking place over whether the 3pm kick-off should go ahead or not.
Spokesmen for both clubs have now denied this is the case and that the match would go ahead as normal.
Supporters of Mark Duggan are due to hold a protest outside Tottenham Police Station at 2pm tomorrow.
Mr Duggan was shot dead by armed police officers on August 4 2011, sparking riots in Tottenham and across a number of cities in England.
A jury at an inquest into his death returned a verdict of lawful killing, sparking anger from his supporters.
The police station lies between Seven Sisters and the Spurs' ground, so fans are being urged to seek an alternative route to the match.
A Tweet from the official Spurs club feed this afternoon said: "Police advise fans travelling to Palace match to avoid alighting at Seven Sisters and to use Bruce Grove and White Hart Lane [mainline] Stations."
