Manchester City can cut their deficit in the Premier League title race to two points if they can beat Crystal Palace today.
Leaders Arsenal are not in action until later in the weekend and may only have a two-point lead if City extend their unbeaten run to eight games with a win in south London.
Taking all three points is not something Palace have enjoyed much of lately, in fact their ten-game winless run stretches all the way back to New Year’s Eve.
