3. Tottenham’s impressive unbeaten run vs Palace

Tottenham haven’t lost in 11 Premier League matches against Palace, the club’s longest unbeaten run against any side. Spurs last top flight defeat against Palace came in January of 2015. Tottenham won five straight 1-0 decisions during a three-season span, a run of games highlighting how historically tight this fixture is.

Palace haven’t won away to Spurs in eight top flight matches, last winning at White Hart Lane in 1997. If nothing else, Tottenham’s dominance over Palace will give them a slight mental edge over their London rivals.

Palace will take some confidence in the fact they’re now two matches unbeaten against Spurs, as both recent outings have ended in a 1-1 deadlock.
