Crystal Palace's equivalent sample reads 8 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses from 20 matches. Their recent form has been a mixed bag too, a goalless draw at Leeds, a big European win, then a league defeat to Ipswich.

Neither side is arriving with any real momentum.

Comparative Team Statistics: Tottenham vs Crystal Palace

A head-to-head that keeps flipping

Looking back over their last several meetings, there's no settled pattern. Palace won 3-1 at Tottenham back in March, Spurs won away at Palace in December, and before that Spurs won on the road too.

Home advantage hasn't counted for much between these two recently. The away side has had plenty of joy in this fixture over the last few seasons.

Where they sit early doors

This is only a snapshot of five Premier League games each, but it's a stark one. Tottenham sit down at pos 20 with just 2 points and no wins yet, while Palace are a little higher at pos 15 on 4 points with a single win.

It's early days, so this doesn't tell us about the whole season, but it does confirm neither club has been fluent so far.

A couple of names worth noting

The player data we have only covers Crystal Palace. Daichi Kamada has been involved in attacking play, with 3 assists across 5 matches, which points to some creative influence from his side.

Crystal Palace:

Best assist providers:

D. Kamada - 3

Penalty cards:

A. Disasi x 1

Axel Disasi has picked up a red card within just 3 matches, which is a disciplinary flag worth watching, though it doesn't tell us anything about his likely involvement on this specific date. There's no equivalent information available for Tottenham's squad here.
