Crystal Palace's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.

Tottenham H.'s away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 1 have been let in at the wrong end.

Crystal Palace are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 18 points from 23 matches. Tottenham H.'s 33 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position.
