Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City have the chance to move an incredible 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League table by the end of 2017 if they can beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Pep Guardiola’s side are yet to suffer defeat in the league this season and have pulled clear of both Manchester United and Chelsea, who yesterday moved into second place with a 5-0 win over Stoke City while United laboured to another draw, this time against Southampton.
City have also won their last 18 Premier League matches and can equal Guardiola’s all-time record of 19 league wins, set while he was with Bayern Munich, if they see off the Eagles. Roy Hodgson’s were beaten 3-2 by Arsenal last time out, and sit precariously above the relegation zone on goal difference alone.

Please allow a moment for the blow to load...
23' - We've got another early, injury-enforced substitution here as an emotional Gabriel Jesus leaves the pitch in tears to be replaced by Sergio Aguero.
Christian Benteke and Eliaquim Mangala vie for the ball after a mix-up in the Manchester City defence
28' - Off the post! Sergio Aguero almost opens the scoring for City but his shot from the edge of the area deflects off Jairo Riedewald and loops onto Wayne Hennessey's far post.
34' - Wilfried Zaha holds the ball up well in an advanced position for Palace before cutting the ball back to Andros Townsend, whose first-time shot from just inside the area is blocked.
Palace really are giving a good account of themselves here.
40' - City are struggling to create any clear-cut opportunities against this well-organised Palace side.
Leroy Sane has had a few openings down the left but Palace right-back Timothy Fosu-Mensah has done really well to stifle the German winger.
45' - We'll have six minutes of added time here after a couple of long injury delays in the first half.
45+1' - Chance! Sergio Aguero gets across his man to meet Kevin De Bruyne's low cross but his first-time strike dribbles wide of Wayne Hennessey's near post.
City's players are starting to get a little frustrated with the way this match is going. Leroy Sane got a right earful off Kevin De Bruyne a few minutes ago for a poorly-timed run. Seemed a little harsh, in all honesty.
