- Crystal Palace have yet to win back-to-back league matches this season and are looking to avoid successive league defeats at Selhurst Park for the first time since January to February last season (vs West Ham, Liverpool, and Chelsea).
- Palace have also never beaten Spurs back-to-back at home in the league and will be aiming to do so for the first time after winning the corresponding fixture 3-0 last season.
- Palace have a poor recent Premiership record in the month of January, winning just two of their last 15 matches in the opening month of the calendar year.
- Spurs have had a wretched record in London derbies so far this season, winning a single one out of 5 matches – the 2-1 home win against Fulham (1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss).
- Indeed, Spurs have gone 10 away league London derbies without a victory, with the last such victory being the 1-0 win over Fulham two seasons ago in March 2021.
- In four of their last five away league matches, Spurs have gone two goals behind, losing two, drawing one, and winning one.
- However, Spurs have lost successive league games once so far this season (against Man United and Newcastle at the back end of October), and only once before that under Antonio Conte (the three consecutive league defeats to Chelsea, Southampton, and Wolves from January to February last season).
- In Harry Kane, Spurs have a player who loves playing against Palace – he has scored five and assisted three times in his last six appearances against the Eagles (however, two of those five goals and two of those three assists came in one game, the 4-1 victory in March 2021).
