Crystal Palace vs Tottenham

Today’s 1-0 win was only Crystal Palace’s second win across their last 19 Premier League games against Tottenham (D2 L15), though both victories in that time have come at Selhurst Park whilst keeping a clean sheet.

Tottenham have failed to win any of their four away London derby matches in the Premier League in 2024 (D1 L3), failing to score in three of those matches, whilst netting just one goal in total.

Crystal Palace have won two of their last six Premier League games against fellow sides from London (D2 L2), as many victories as across their prior 18 such matches combined (D5 L11). Each of their last four London derby successes in the top-flight have come at home, whilst this was the first alongside a clean sheet since beating Arsenal 3-0 in April 2022.

Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 18 Premier League games against Tottenham (D2 L15), a 3-0 home win in September 2021 under Patrick Vieira when Spurs were top of the league.

Tottenham have won 19 of their 30 Premier League games against Crystal Palace (D7 L4), their highest win rate against any fellow London side in the competition’s history (63%).

Crystal Palace won five of their first seven home Premier League matches under Oliver Glasner (D1 L1), scoring 22 goals. Since then, they’re winless in four at Selhurst Park (D2 L2), failing to score in three.

Tottenham Hotspur have won three of their last four Premier League matches (L1), as many as they had in their previous 11 games (W3 D1 L7).

With just three points won, this is Crystal Palace’s joint-worst start to a top-flight campaign after eight matches (counting 3 points/win, also three in 1980-81, 2013-14 and 2017-18). Meanwhile, it’s only the second time they’ve failed to win any of their first eight in a top-flight campaign, after the 1992-93 season when they were relegated.
