Crystal Palace out to avoid equalling unwanted losing record against Tottenham Hotspur
The Eagles will make the trip across London on the back of a fine 3-0 win over Burnley last weekend in Oliver Glasner's first game in charge.
Glasner watched on as his new Palace side drew 1-1 with Everton a week earlier, just hours after Roy Hodgson was forced to step aside due a health issue.
A dominant performance saw Palace cruise to an eventual comfortable victory over the Clarets, thanks to second-half goals from Chris Richards, Jordan Ayew and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Palace took confidence from that and would go on to win their next two away to United, and they also won there earlier this season thanks to Joachim Andersen's spectacular effort.
