Manchester City’s scoring record and the leaky defence of opponents Crystal Palace point towards a glut of goals when the two meet at the Etihad Stadium.
Both teams have played 16 games going into this fixture and in 12 of those 32 matches there have been four or more goals scored.
Both City and Palace have featured in six games apiece where four or more goals have been scored but City have been better at getting the ball in at the right end of the pitch.
This is reflected in a goal difference of +19 for Manuel Pellegrini’s men and a contrasting -5 for Neil Warnock’s charges.
However, the challenge for Pellegrini is where he will find the goals in the injury absence of star front-man Sergio Aguero whose strikes have been a key factor in City closing the gap on Premier League leaders Chelsea to three points.
At least Pellegrini can put off thoughts of the Champions League encounter with Barcelona until next year and concentrate on victory against Palace.
How Warnock must dream about having something to take the focus off his side’s Premier League plight.
Palace hover perilously close to the relegation zone and but Warnock is expert at setting up teams to keep out others.
If he can find the key to stopping City, perhaps he can inspire the Eagles to leave Manchester with an early Christmas present.
Enhanced price therefore maximum stake of £25 per user.
