Manchester City

City are the only team in the Premier League this season yet to drop a point at home. They have also scored in each of their last 59 Premier League home games.

Alvaro Negredo has scored in each of his last nine appearances at the Etihad Stadium.

Tony Pulis has won nine points from his six Premier League games in charge of Crystal Palace – two more than Ian Holloway and Keith Millen won combined from 12 matches.

The Eagles have kept five clean sheets in their last eight league fixtures.

They have only taken one point from their nine games against top-half opposition.

Palace have scored the fewest goals in the division (12) and failed to recover any points from losing positions.
