Matter of stats | Palace vs Spurs - Brennan on song ahead of Eagles clash

Brennan Johnson aims for a hat-trick of away day goals when we face Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on Sunday (2pm UK).

The in-form forward - six goals in his last eight appearances in all competitions - has scored in his last two outings in the Premier League, at Manchester United and Brighton.

Brennan also has happy memories of Palace from last season, when he claimed assists for three of our five goals against the south Londoners, a 2-1 win at Selhurst in October followed by a 3-1 success back in N17 in March.
