Crystal Palace play host to Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 3 of the 16 games played, and losing 9.
The last time the two teams met at Crystal Palace was back in March 1998, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Premiership match.

Little seems to be going right for the Eagles at home recently, and I can see no immediate upturn in fortunes as the Spurs come away with an easy victory. Away win
