Tottenham Hotspur are unbeaten in their last 14 league matches on Boxing Day (W11 D3) since a 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth in 2003/04. It’s the longest ongoing unbeaten run on this day by any side within the top four tiers of English football.
If Harry Kane scores he will match Robbie Fowler’s Premier League record of nine Boxing Day goals (9). Kane has scored in all five of his Boxing Day PL appearances, the longest such scoring streak in the competition's history. He also holds the record for the best minutes-per-goal ratio on 26 December, 54 minutes (minimum four matches).
As a player, Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira was on the winning side in all eight of his Premier League matches played on Boxing Day, the best 100 per cent win rate on 26 December by a player in the competition’s history.
Crystal Palace have scored seven goals in their last three Premier League London derbies, as many as in their previous 10 such matches combined. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four Premier League meetings with London sides (W1 D3), last having a longer such run without defeat in the top flight between April-November 1990 (7 matches).
