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.

Half-time - Crystal Palace 0-0 Manchester City
Jon Moss blows his whistle after 51 minutes of intriguing first-half action. Palace have matched City in every department so far and the Premier League leaders have a job on to extend their top-flight winning streak to 19 matches.
50' - City have been on top in the early stages of this second half. They've had a couple of set-piece opportunities already but both came to nothing.
55' - Timothy Fosu-Mensah does really well to get his head on Kevin De Bruyne's crossed free-kick after Leroy Sane was body-checked by Luka Milivojevic.
Raheem Sterling is preparing to come on for City.
57' - So close! Ilkay Gundogan plays a lovely one-two with Kevin De Bruyne on the edge of the area before curling a shot just wide of Wayne Hennessey's far post.
That proves to be Gundogan's last contribution of the match as he is immediately replaced by Raheem Sterling.
Bernardo Silva is watched closely by Yohan Cabaye and Andros Townsend
60' - City are really starting to dominate this match now.
Sergio Aguero just had a headed chance from Bernardo Silva's cross but the Argentine's weak effort was straight at Wayne Hennessey.
63' - Great save! Raheem Sterling's deflected cross finds Leroy Sane at the far post but the German is denied at close range by Wayne Hennessey.
