With another London derby victory, Spurs can go five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Tottenham will travel to Crystal Palace on Friday night knowing that a win will put them five points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Spurs have remained unbeaten and have amassed 23 points in nine games under Ange Postecoglou. The 2-0 home win over Fulham on Monday sealed Postecoglou’s record as the finest start of any Premier League manager in history.
Just four days later, Palace host their city rival at Selhurst Park, searching for their first victory since early September. The Eagles have been lifeless thus far this season, with a 4-0 thrashing against Newcastle dropping them to 11th in the rankings.

Team news for Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham
Crystal Palace expect to have Jeffery Schlupp ready after recovering from a thigh injury, while Matheus Franca hopes to be fit enough for a bench spot after an Under-21s run-out earlier in the week.
Injuries have sidelined Michael Olise and Eberchi Eze, as well as Dean Henderson, James Tompkins, and Nathan Ferguson.
Spurs’ Destiny Odogie and Pape Matar Sarr had to be substituted in Monday’s win over Fulham, but Ange Postecoglou assured them that they will be fine for Friday.
Yves Bissouma is eligible after serving a one-game suspension, but he may not be risked given that he is one yellow card away from another suspension and that Chelsea is up next.
