Manchester City can get top place of the Premier League – for 48 hours in event – on the off chance that they get victory Crystal Palace by five or more goals at the Etihad Stadium.
A five consecutive win, City are currently only three points behind Chelsea and would bounce over their title equals on goal contrast with an extensive success over the south Londoners.
Neil Warnock's side has won only one of their last 10 Premier League matches yet they have carried out fine against higher-positioned sides, defeated Liverpool and Everton this season.
The match commences a significant Christmas period for Palace who sit only one point outside the transfer zone and face critical installations against QPR and Aston Villa in the following two weeks.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini could hand 18-year-old José Ángel Pozo his second in a row begin with strikers Sergio Aguero (knee), Edin Dzeko (calf) and Stevan Jovetic (hamstring) precluded.
Skipper Vincent Kompany is an alternate key non-attendant with a repeat of a hamstring issue.
Crystal Palace will be facing a serious problem because they are without striker Marouane Chamakh, who is absent with a hamstring harm.
Defender Adrian Mariappa is fit after knee harm yet may not be prepared to begin.
Manchester City has scored in 13 progressive Premier League games; the longest such run in the opposition this season.
Mile Jedinak has made more captures 60 than some other PL player this season, whereas Nathaniel Clyne {70} has made a bigger number of handles than the Australian {60}.
Man City's substitutes have played a part in 11 goals this season in the Premier League (five goals, six supports) – more than some other club.
City has yielded only 18 goals in 26 Premier League home matches under Manuel Pellegrini (0.69 every match).
Expert's forecast
I like Palace, they're truly perilous on the break and they've got a considerable measure of pace yet I'm running with City for this one on the grounds that they're flying right now. I think City is on a right move, certainty is high and I don't think Palace will be a match for them.
