London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace both have Premier League winless streaks to snap in Sunday’s clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, although neither side will be overly disappointed at the prospect of those sequences extending.
Indeed, the Eagles and the Lilywhites both have little on the line for the remainder of the top-flight campaign, as they are both languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table and should save their best form for imminent finals.
Ange Postecoglou‘s men will soon compete against Manchester United in the Europa League showpiece thanks to a 5-1 aggregate win over Norwegian giants Bodo/Glimt in the last four, while Oliver Glasner‘s men follow this encounter with a highly-anticipated FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Momentum from a prospective victory on Sunday could yet prove critical, though, and here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between London rivals Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 66
Crystal Palace wins: 14
Draws: 15
Spurs wins: 37
Not the most frequent fixture on the football calendar during the 20th century, Palace and Tottenham have now been familiar foes since the Eagles established themselves as a fully-fledged member of the Premier League.
There have now been a total of 66 clashes between the two capital outfits, and the latter inevitably lead the way with 37 victories compared to just 14 for the Eagles, while 15 more ties have ended level.
However, Palace did come up trumps in the most recent fixture between the two rivals in October 2024, where a solitary Jean-Philippe Mateta effort was the difference in a deserved 1-0 success for the Eagles.
Prior to that, Spurs on a five-match victorious sequence against the Eagles, following up a 2-1 Selhurst Park win in October 2023 with a 3-1 home success in March 2024, where a stellar Eberechi Eze free kick was for nought.
Since Palace earned their Premier League stars again in 2013, the Eagles have only managed to best Tottenham five times in 25 attempts, and two of those victories have come in the FA Cup, including a 1-0 White Hart Lane success in 2016.
That triumph – which came via a Martin Kelly goal – marked the last time that Palace got the better of Spurs away from home, as they are still waiting for their first positive result, be it a win or draw, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With 19 victories to show from 31 Premier League matches against Palace, Tottenham boast a better win rate against the Eagles than they do against any other London side in the competition at 61%.
Harry Kane bagged 11 goals in this fixture for Tottenham and is the highest Palace-Spurs scorer on record, but his former deadly double act partner Son Heung-min is not that far behind with nine of his own.
