200 derby days in the PL!

We will create a little slice of history when we face Palace on Saturday - by becoming the first team to play 200 London derbies in the Premier League.

By coincidence, our first London derby in the Premier League era was against Palace at the Lane on August 22, 1992 - Gordon Durie and Steve Sedgley on target in a 2-2 draw.

Our most recent derby was a 2-1 win at Fulham on December 4 as goals from Vlad Chiriches and a spectacular strike from Lewis Holtby saw us home.

In-between, our biggest derby win was 6-2 at at Wimbledon in May, 1998 and our heaviest loss 6-1 against Chelsea in December, 1997. The most goals in a game was a 5-4 reverse against Arsenal at the Lane in November, 2004 with the highest score draws  4-4 at the Emirates in November, 2008 and Chelsea at the Lane in March, 2008.
