Sun Oct 27 13:57:15 UTC 2024: ## Tottenham Favored to Extend Winning Streak Against Struggling Crystal Palace
**London, England** – Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to extend their recent winning streak when they face a struggling Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Spurs have won three of their last four Premier League matches, while Palace have been in a slump, managing just one win in their last 18 games against their North London rivals.
Tottenham have a strong historical record against Crystal Palace, having won 19 of their 30 Premier League encounters. Spurs boast the highest win rate against any fellow London side in the competition’s history, with a 63% win percentage.
Despite Palace’s recent struggles, they have shown signs of attacking prowess under new manager Oliver Glasner, scoring 22 goals in their first seven home games. However, their recent form at Selhurst Park has been disappointing, with four consecutive matches without a win.
Tottenham are in a strong position heading into the match, having dominated the Premier League in terms of attacking metrics. They have made the most runs into the opposition penalty area, overlapping runs in the final third, and have the second-highest number of shots, shots on target, touches in the opposition box, and successful opposition half passes.
Individually, Tottenham players are also leading the way. Dominic Solanke tops the league with 93 runs into the box, while Dejan Kulusevski has made 17 final-third overlapping runs. Spurs midfielder James Maddison, who could make his 200th Premier League appearance in the match, is leading the league in passes played into the opposition penalty area.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace striker Eddie Nketiah is struggling for form. He has gone 30 shots without scoring in the Premier League since his hat-trick against Sheffield United back in October 2023.
Tottenham will be looking to their talisman Son Heung-Min, who has been a consistent threat in London derbies. He has been involved in 10 goals in his last 13 London derby appearances.
With Tottenham in good form and Crystal Palace struggling, this match is expected to be a one-sided affair. Spurs will be confident of securing a victory and extending their lead in the Premier League table.
