The Premier League leaders kick off the latest round of action in the English top-flight, as Tottenham look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. Spurs have won each of their previous three, but they face an interesting challenge at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace on Friday.

Before Betting On Crystal Palace vs Tottenham

It has been a sensational start to life in the Premier League for Ange Postecoglou, as no new boss in the division has enjoyed a better start than the Australian. Spurs currently sit top of the league standings, as they have gone nine without a defeat in the top-flight this term, and have won each of their previous three matches in the competition.

Spurs have dominated previous encounters against the Eagles, as they have won 61% of the fixtures between the sides in the Premier League. Tottenham only boast a higher win rate after 20 meetings against Sunderland in the competition. Spurs also come into this fixture after having gone five without defeat on the road in London derbies.

Crystal Palace will be looking to respond after they were disappointing at both ends of the field last weekend against Newcastle, losing 4-0 on the road. However, since Roy Hodgson’s return to the club, the Eagles having lost back-to-back matches in the Premier League since April.

But, their record in this fixture is extremely poor, as they have landed just a single win from the previous 16 fixtures between the sides. Their three goals in that win in September 2021 also accounts to the seven goals that they have scored against Spurs in those 16 matches.

Tottenham’s record in this fixture is incredibly challenging to overlook. Spurs have made an excellent start to the new season, and there doesn’t appear to be much evidence to suggest that their unbeaten start will come to an end on Friday.
