On paper this looks like a mismatch, but there are several reasons why Crystal Palace’s clash with Manchester City deserves your attention.
Palace’s Home Record
Selhurst Park has been an uncomfortable venue for plenty of bigger sides over the years, and Palace’s supporters have a knack for lifting the team when the underdog tag is embraced.
City’s Squad Rotation
With fixtures coming thick and fast, City’s team selection could offer opportunities for fringe players to impress, which sometimes changes the complexion of a match neutrals expect to be one-sided.
