Crystal Palace are one of only three teams that have topped the Citizens in the current season as they face again tonight
Manchester City Premier League defeats are as seldom as tropical heat in England. So when it happens, as it did back in October when Crystal Palace stunned them at the Etihad 2-0, it attracts the attention of the whole wide world.
Moreover, the next skirmish of the two sides could cause massive havoc on the top as Liverpool are only three points adrift of the leaders. A possible City's loss would provide us with a sensational title showdown with plenty of action left and the two-horse race in prospect.
That's why the Scousers will have their eyes firmly attached to Selhurst Park tonight and cheer for Patrick Viera's slot to perpetuate their incredible score with City this season.
Wilfred Zaha and Chelsea player on loan at Palace Conor Gallagher teamed up five months in a staggering 2-0 away win in front of packed Etihad.
If they repeat that unbelievable level, we could have the upset of the week that would cause Pep Guardiola's headache.
Spurs won all three points against them a few rounds ago, and they were held to a draw against Sporting Lisbon in the return leg of the Champions League. Ruben Dias is sidelined due to an injury, while another essential part of City's defensive puzzle, Joao Cancelo, is also doubtful for the Crystal Palace tie.
