The Ange-ball revolution continued as Tottenham swept Fulham aside on Monday, returning to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory.
Ange Postecoglou’s team face a short turnaround before taking on another London rival this week, but Friday’s trip to Crystal Palace offers them the chance to go five points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal at the start of Matchday 10.
Friday’s match represents another milestone for Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson, who will reach 500 games in charge of English clubs across all competitions.
Hodgson lost when taking charge of his 100th and 200th such games (the latter coming against Tottenham), before overseeing wins in games 300 and 400.
Head-To-Head Summary:
Tottenham have won 17 of their 28 Premier League meetings with Palace, giving them a 61% win rate against them.
Spurs had the upper hand over Palace in the Premier League last campaign, triumphing 4-0 at Selhurst Park in January and 1-0 at home in May, with Harry Kane heading the winner from Pedro Porro’s cross when the teams last met.
