Did you know?

Crystal Palace are looking to complete the league double over Man City for the first time since 1987/88 in the second tier having won 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium in this season's reverse fixture.

Wilfried Zaha scored his ninth league goal of the season last time out against Wolves, netting five times in his last eight Premier League appearances for Palace. Having scored 11 goals in the competition last season, Zaha could reach double figures in consecutive campaigns for the first time in his career.

Manchester City are unbeaten in 13 away Premier League matches since losing on the opening weekend of 2021/22 at Spurs (W11 D2). They last had a longer unbeaten run on the road in the competition between February and December 2018 (14).

Man City have won five of their last six Premier League matches at Palace (D1), with their last defeat at Selhurst Park coming in a Monday night match in April 2015.

The Scout's FPL tips

- Conor Gallagher (£6.2m) produced a goal, an assist and 13 points in Palace’s 2-0 win at the Etihad in GW10, one of his five double-figure hauls this season. In terms of value, he is the second-best midfielder in 2021/22 Fantasy, totalling 121 points and returning 19.5 points per million spent. 
- Kevin De Bruyne’s (£11.8m) 18-point haul in last weekend’s Manchester derby was his third double-figure score in his last six outings. The Belgian’s 17 shots and 16 key passes in that run both place among the top two players for Man City.
