10 TODAY'S GAME
Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur / Sunday 27th January // Selhurst Park
Today's game Having both seen off League Two opposition in differing fashions earlier this month, Palace and Tottenham meet in one of the ties of the FA Cup fourth round. The Eagles needed a late Jordan Ayew goal to edge past plucky Grimsby Town on home turf three weeks ago, while Spurs ran riot at Tranmere Rovers to thrash the Wirral-based outfit 7-0 with Fernando Llorente helping himself to a hat-trick. Spurs have won each of the last five games against Palace by a 1-0 scoreline - the last of which came 79 days ago when a Juan Foyth goal clinched a fourth-straight win at Selhurst Park for Mauricio Pochettino - but the last time that sequence was broken saw the Eagles beat Spurs on their way to the 2016 FA Cup final. In fact, three of Palace’s nine victories over Tottenham in their history have come in this competition. One odd stat between today’s opponents is that 26 of the last 27 goals scored in Premier League games between Palace and Spurs were netted in the second half, with just one first half goal scored in the last 15 meetings. However, recent cup clashes have bucked that trend with Martin Kelly’s strike three years ago coming on the stroke of half-time, while Freddie Kanoute netted two of his hat-trick goals before the interval in a 3-0 Spurs win back in January 2004. If needed, a replay will be played at Wembley on Wednesday 6th February with an 8pm kick-off.
Martin Kelly is the only current Eagle to have scored for the club against Tottenham Hotspur, coming in the fifth round win three years ago.

The Spurs stopper became only the fourth goalkeeper to captain his side to World Cup glory when he got his hands on the famous trophy last July. Incredibly, that was the first major honour he’d won since the 2012 French Cup during his time at Lyon whom he played 195 times for after moving from Nice. Lloris cost Spurs just £8 million, which has proven to be one of the bargains of recent history as he has helped them become a Premier League force. THFC Games: 277 THFC Goals: 0

Despite struggling with injury issues, Vertonghen signed a one-year contract extension last month to continue his lengthy service in north London. A product of the Ajax youth academy, he progressed to the first-team and won two Dutch titles -the second as skipper – and the Eredivisie Footballer of the Year award before switching to Tottenham. He is the mostcapped Belgian international in history, and featured for them at two World Cup and Euro 2016. THFC Games: 266 THFC Goals: 9
