MAROUANE Chamakh is "fired up" to take on Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday following his previous connections with Arsenal.
The 30-year-old is still a popular figure with Gunners fans and looks out for their results regularly, and Chamakh admitted he doesn't like Spurs too much either.
When asked if he ever gets a good reception against the Lilywhites, he gave the obvious response.
"Not really, never at Tottenham, but it's OK," said Chamakh.
"Before I didn't like this team and so it's an opportunity for me and for Palace to do something very good there.
"It fires me up all the time (to do well against Tottenham)."
