Manchester City this afternoon face one of their bogey teams of recent seasons in the form of Crystal Palace.
Palace won this fixture last season 2-0, thanks to goals from Wilfried Zaha and Conor Gallagher, before holding the Premier League champions to a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park.
It was the latest in a string of impressive results against the best team in the country, and Patrick Vieira again has his team looking solid this term.
City enjoyed a midweek trip to Barcelona for a charity game, so it will be interesting to see if the travel has any effect.
Here are all the details ahead of the game...

Man City vs Crystal Palace prediction
Manchester City likely know more than most that Crystal Palace are no pushovers, having takne just one point off them last season and have won just two of their last five meetings.
City looks fairly imperious, though. They deserved to beat Newcastle last weekend and otherwise have an unblemished record this season. Palace after already recorded a solid draw with Liverpool, but City are a step above even with their midweek excursions.
City to win 2-1.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Man City wins: 35
Draws: 15
Crystal Palace wins: 17
