Match: English Premier League - Game 28

When: Sunday 25th February 2018 at 12 Noon

Where: Selhurst Park

Referee: Kevin Friend

Team form: In all Competitions - Crystal Palace WLDDL Spurs DWWDD

Palace have lost their last 5 EPL games against us, scoring only 1 goal in the process. However they did beat us in the FA Cup 5th round match in February 2016. We will be looking to win 3 consecutive away league games against Palace for the first time in history.

Palace have kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 27 EPL derbies.

Up to game 27, we have won more points than any other EPL side (15 points W4 D3 L0) and we are the only one yet to lose in 2018. Palace have scored 5 EPL penalties this season with no team scoring more. We are one of 3 sides yet to concede from the spot in the EPL.

Harry Kane has had a hand in 3 goals in the 3 previous EPL appearances at Selhurst Park. 2 goals and 1 assist. He has also scored 13 goals in his last 12 EPL appearances in the month of February, scoring in both EPL matches so far, this February.

With Liverpool going second after beating those tossers from the Olympic Stadium, we have to beat Palace and hope that Manu and Chelsea draw.

For me at this point there is no bad/good result from Manure, Cheatski match as it's hard to know which team if any will matter most dropping points, main thing is we win our match... then settle down to watch Scum get hammered in the final by Citeh.

Total agreement. Let's be on it from the off.

My first time at this ground since 1995!
Wimbledon 0-1 Spurs a late Ruel Fox goal.

Would take 0-1 today Moura late

But, would rather the 1-4 it's going to be, Kane always good for a brace against this level of team/defence, if he's 70% at it we demolish them.

With no knowledge of how the rest of the reason will pan out then a draw is most definitely the optimum result from ManU-Che.

Focusing on winning ours first of course before anybody says it again

Graduated from Diclofenac to Tramadol because of shitting middle aged sciatica nonsense this week, so three points and a double dose this afternoon will ease out the weekend

Kick off is approaching super fast, stuff on my 'things to list' are now getting shelved and the nerves are a jangling.

Will we actually finish our chances today, especially since 3/4 of their starters are injured

Usually I hope for a draw between close competitors, because that distributes two, not three points in total to a rival. However for this and the next match, I'd prefer two Chelsea losses.
