Pep Guardiola has outlined just why Crystal Palace will be such a tricky opponent for Manchester City on Saturday.
City face Palace at the Etihad Stadium in their fourth Premier League outing of the season, looking to get back to winning ways after playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle last weekend.
However, Guardiola will have to overcome something of a bogey team in order to keep up their strong start to the campaign. City failed to beat Patrick Vieira's side last season, losing 2-0 at home and drawing 0-0 at Selhurst Park. Pep was told that City have lost just two of their last 54 Premier League games that have kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday; both losses have come to Palace.
