H2H: Two In A Row For Palace
Since 2000, Tottenham hold a 6-3 head to head advantage with two draws. Crystal Palace, however, won both meetings last season with a 1-0 victory at home followed by a 2-0 success away.
Crystal Palace Winless In Four
Crystal Palace have had a rough last few weeks with no win in the last four games in all competitions.
That run includes back-to-back Premier League defeats to Manchester City 3-0 and Leeds 4-1 as well as a 2-2 draw with KuPS in the UEFA Conference League.
Oliver Glasner's side also drew 1-1 with Arsenal in 90 minutes of their midweek EFL Cup quarter-final before exiting on penalties.
Prior to the four-game winless run, inconsistent Palace had won three in a row with victories over Burnley, Fulham and Shelbourne.
Two Straight Defeats For Tottenham
Inconsistency continues to plague Tottenham with Thomas Frank's side coming into this on the back of successive defeats.
Spurs have lost to Nottingham Forest 3-0 and 2-1 to Liverpool in the build up to Christmas and find themselves 14th in the table.
It is now just one win in the last eight Premier League games, that coming three weeks ago with a 2-0 victory over Brentford.
Otherwise, Tottenham have struggled to string results with only one other win in nine games since early November courtesy of a 3-0 success over Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
