Tottenham Hotspur enter their upcoming match against Crystal Palace on the back of a unique quirk, as all three of their victories this season have come against teams whose names begin with the letter 'C'. Roberto De Zerbi's side previously defeated Charlton Athletic 5-1 in the Carabao Cup, followed by a 3-1 Premier League victory over Coventry City and a 2-0 triumph away against Chelsea.
