Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday 18 August

1.30pm Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur

Ian Holloway's Championship play-off winners entertain Tottenham Hotspur in their first match in the top flight after an eight-year absence.

The Eagles' record against Spurs will give the South Londoners plenty of encouragement. Spurs have yet to register a home Barclays Premier League victory over Crystal Palace, while Palace have won once and drawn once in four home matches against Spurs since 1992.

Crystal Palace signings: Stephen Dobbie (Brighton & Hove Albion), Dwight Gayle (Peterborough United), Jerome Thomas (West Bromwich Albion), Jose Campana (Sevilla), Elliot Grandin (Unattached), Marouane Chamakh (Arsenal).

Tottenham Hotspur signings: Paulinho (Corinthians), Nacer Chadli (FC Twente), Roberto Soldado (Valencia).

Key stat: Crystal Palace have scored in all but one of their previous eight Premier League fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur.
