EPL PREVIEW MATCHDAY 6: MANCHESTER CITY VS CRYSTAL PALACE

Manchester City will surely not falter against a Crystal Palace side already on their second manager of the season – Roy Hodgson – and who have lost all five league matches scoring no goals. City are joint-top on 13 points and have a goal difference of 14, so expectations of a romp at the Etihad Stadium by Pep Guardiola’s team are realistic. Jamie Jackson
