Aiming to continue their unbeaten start to the season and life under Ange Postecoglou and strengthen their position at the summit of the Premier League table, Tottenham Hotspur will raise the curtain on the weekend's top-flight action on Friday, when they travel across London to take on Crystal Palace.

The visitors marked their return from the international break with a victory over Fulham on Monday to move two points clear in top spot, while their hosts dropped to 11th place following a heavy defeat to Newcastle United.

Thanks to Monday’s victory, Spurs have now taken 23 points from a possible 27 this season, picking up seven wins and two draws to snatch top spot.

It is also worth noting that Tottenham have won three of their last four away league outings, scoring 10 goals while keeping two clean sheets along the way.

Palace will be determined to respond from their beatdown on Tyneside by impressing in front of the Selhurst Park faithful against a side they haven't had too much success against in the recent past.
