Played: 18 Wins: 14 Draws: 2 Losses: 2 Goals: 9 Assists: 2

Footballers always say that the team is more important than any individual milestone, and in that sense, Crystal Palace are Son Heung-min's favourite opponents to play against - he has been involved in a personal-high 14 wins from 18 games against the Eagles.

The South Korean has achieved more victories over Palace than he has any other team - Burnley are second on his list with 11 - while he has also been a part of two draws while only suffering two losses to the London outfit.

Son's individual statistics are not half-bad either, as the Spurs skipper has come up with nine goals and two assists in his previous 18 matches against Crystal Palace.

Son's affinity for a goal against Palace came right at the start of his Tottenham Hotspur career, as he hit the winner in a 1-0 triumph over the Eagles in September 2015, his first-ever goal in the Premier League.

The attacker drew a blank against Palace in his only appearance against them in 2016-17, but since then, he has managed at least one direct involvement in this fixture - be it home or away - in six of the last seven seasons.

Wearing the captain's armband, Son was on target in both victories over Palace in the 2023-24 season and has now found the net in four of his last six Premier League matches versus the Eagles, as well as setting up goals in both meetings in 2020-21.

In fact, the ex-Bayer Leverkusen man is the second-highest documented scorer in the history of this fixture, and he only needs three more to overtake Harry Kane (11) and become the outright leader.
