Ange Postecoglou has made history at Tottenham Hotspur. His side is unbeaten, having racked up 23 points from his first nine games in charge. It’s not just a Tottenham record, it’s a Premier League milestone.
The previous record, 22 points, was jointly held by Mike Walker (Norwich City 1992-93) and Guus Hiddink (Chelsea 2008-09). So congrats to Postecoglu on setting a new benchmark.

Can Postecoglu, whose side currently sits top of the table, keep it rolling at Crystal Palace on Friday night?
Let’s look at first team that he might pick in hopes of bagging another three points from the next league fixture.
While Yves Bissouma is one of Spurs’ key players, and he is back available now after having served a one-game suspension, he may not be risked for this match.
That’s because he is only a single yellow card away from getting suspended again, this time due to accumulation. He might be saved for bigger clashes than this one, down the line.
