Crystal Palace fullback Nathaniel Clyne is looking forward to Friday night's derby with Tottenham.

Clyne feels the Selhurst Park crowd can make the difference tomorrow.

He told Palace's website: It's Friday night football, under the Selhurst lights in a London derby and we're looking forward to it. Hopefully it'll be a good game.

I watch a lot of football and I've seen Tottenham a lot this season. They're playing really well under the new manager [Ange Postecoglou]. They're top of the league.

It's going to be a difficult game and a tough challenge for us, we know that, but we'll be up for it. Hopefully we can come out of the game with three points."

In Selhurst Park, Clyne explained: The Palace fans have always been good to me. Obviously they recognise that I'm someone who came through their Academy, so they've always treated me well and supported me.

They've always been really good and very supportive. Their support on matchdays is what helps us to play better and it's always like our 12th man, home and away.

I'm happy to have played so many games for Crystal Palace and hopefully I'll have many more to come. It [nearing 200 games] is something I'll look back on later on I'm just hungry for even more."
