vs LIVE! Spurs head to Selhurst Park this afternoon looking to pile further misery on the Eagles, who remain without a win heading into their ninth game of the season. Ange Postecoglou & Co. should be confident, having won their last five meetings between the two sides and losing just one of the previous 18.

A figure the manager believes was not enough. Palace’s best hope is to get at Spurs’ defence, which has been suspect at times this season.
