Palace Preview: Why early exchanges could be crucial v Spurs

Crystal Palace will look to make it four Premier League games unbeaten as they travel to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, 7th March (19:15 GMT).

The two sides last met in early December, in front of 2,000 fans at Selhurst Park. The atmosphere generated even from a diminished home support saw Palace fight back from a goal down, with Jeffrey Schlupp’s equaliser late on securing a deserved 1-1 draw.

In the aftermath of that meeting, Spurs’ went through a rough patch of form, winning just three of their next 12 league games – including dropping points in London derbies to Fulham, Chelsea and West Ham United.
