Only if the fixtures were decided on paper, Manchester City would have already won it, moving to the top of the table at the expense of Liverpool.

It’s an away game for City, against a team which will be without both first-choice centre-backs. So this is an opportunity for the away side to smell blood, and take another step towards the defense of their title.

But it’s easier said than done. Crystal Palace are becoming a bogey team for the Cityzens, or at least the results in the last few games fuels that notion.

The Eagles sensibly won 2-3 at the Etihad Stadium in the reverse fixture, while also missing a penalty in the last home game against Pep Guardiola’s team. Had the ball gone in, it would have been City’s first loss of last season.

But all these would have been, should have been won’t have any bearing on the match once the referee blows his whistle. Palace can still be good, at least in the attacking department. The likes of Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend can rip the Mickey out of any backline on their day.

In that sense, City will have to be on their guard for the full 90 minutes. The morale of the squad is also down due to the negative result in the Champions Legaue. Talking about Europe, Pep may be forced to make changes to the side which started against Tottenham on Tuesday. So there is a chance for the hosts as well.

For Plaace, the target is to secure the top-flight status for yet another season. But this is the club which has quality in all positions, and that’s why the general consensus is that Roy Hodgson’s men are too good to get embroiled in a relegation battle. The fact they are, means, Palace are underperforming.
