Top-of-the-table Manchester City make the trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday hoping to extend what has proven to be a rip-roaring start to the Premier League season.

Victory is anything but a foregone conclusion, however, as the high-flying Eagles look to topple another English superpower after beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last time out to move second.

We say: Crystal Palace 1-1 Manchester City

By virtue of the fact that his Newcastle United and Crystal Palace teams have beaten Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea twice over the last 12 months, it could be argued that Pardew is the man for a giant-killing. Saturday offers another chance for him to prove his credentials when it comes to stunning England's elite and we reckon that it will be City's toughest test of the season - one that they will squeeze through.
