Always good to start a thread with a few stats:

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head


Manchester City are winless in their last two games against Crystal Palace, including a 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season. Prior to this they had claimed seven consecutive victories against Palace in all competitions.

Palace could complete a top-flight double over City for the first time since the 1972-73 season.

The Eagles have never recorded a top-flight double against the reigning champions.

Crystal Palace

Palace can win back-to-back league games for just the second time this season, with the first occasion December's victories against Leicester and then Manchester City.

The win at City before Christmas is Palace's only victory in 10 league games this season against sides from the established top six (D2, L7).

The Eagles have won just 41% of their points at home this season (16 of 39), the lowest percentage in the top flight.

Only relegated clubs Fulham and Huddersfield have earned fewer points at home than Palace in the current campaign.

The Londoners' next goal will be their 800th in the top flight.

Luka Milivojevic is one short of equalling the Premier League record for most penalties scored in a season, set by fellow Palace player Andrew Johnson, who converted 11 in 2004-05.

Manchester City

Manchester City have won eight successive Premier League games, keeping a clean sheet in six of the last seven.

City can equal their club league record by keeping a fourth consecutive clean sheet away from home.

They have won eight of their last 10 top-flight matches in London (D1, L1), with their only defeat the 2-0 loss to Chelsea in December.

Pep Guardiola has won 23 of 27 Premier League matches against English managers, with his only defeat coming against Roy Hodgson and Crystal Palace in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Sergio Aguero is without a goal in all five of his previous appearances at Selhurst Park.

Aguero is one short of becoming the second player to score at least 20 Premier League goals in six different seasons. Alan Shearer did so in seven separate campaigns.

Fernadndinho aside and maybe Kompany over Stones that's the lineup I'd have gone for. Palace has been tricky for us but I feel like we could smash them in the first half.
