Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has faced Tottenham in a home Premier League match only once before; his Sheffield United team beat Martin Jol's Spurs side 2-1 at Bramall Lane in February 2007.
Spurs have won their last five Premier League matches on New Year's Day since losing 1-2 away at Aston Villa in 2008.
Spurs striker Harry Kane has been involved in six goals in his last two Premier League games on New Year's Day (4 goals, 2 assists); only two players - Andy Cole and Steven Gerrard (5) - have scored more goals on January 1st in the Premier League than Kane's four.
Neil Warnock has lost 10 of his 14 league matches played on New Year's Day (W2 D2), with his defeats coming with six different clubs - Scarborough, Notts County, Huddersfield Town, Sheffield United, QPR and current side Cardiff.
Cardiff haven't kept three consecutive clean sheets in the top-flight since April 1957.
Harry Kane has scored 15 goals in his last 11 away Premier League matches against newly promoted teams for Spurs.
