Crystal Palace are 250/1 outsiders to be crowned English champions for the first time this season, but victory over Manchester City could see the spotlight start to shine a little more intensely on Oliver Glasner’ s side.
Having won their maiden FA Cup crown in May - beating City in the final at Wembley - and then adding the Community Shield , Palace are already enjoying the most successful spell in their history, and the Eagles are showing no signs of being grounded.
They are fourth in the Premier League , and victory on Sunday would see them move to within two points of second-placed City .
It is heady days for the south Londoners, but their credentials will be tested to the full by a City side now looking back to their ominous best after an early-season wobble.
Pep Guardiola’s team have closed to within two points of league leaders Arsenal and beat Real Madrid on Wednesday to close in on a Champions League last-16 spot.
Last season’s clash at Selhurst Park finished 2-2, and we think something similar could happen this time, with our prediction being a score draw @ 7/2.

Form Guides
Crystal Palace Form Guide
Palace have made the most of a volatile Premier League season to quietly work their way into the upper echelons on the back of four wins and a draw in their last six matches.
Their only defeat in that run was a 2-1 home loss to Manchester United, where they surrendered a half-time lead, and that was the first league defeat at Selhurst Park this season.
However, they have also drawn four - more than other team in the top flight - of their seven home fixtures and could see the spoils shared again on Sunday.
Interestingly, prior to their Conference League trip to Shelbourne , Palace’s last 10 goals had been scored by eight different players, so BOYLE Sports' Sub Swap offer - where bets will automatically switch to the new man if a player is replaced - could pay dividends when it comes to goalscoring predictions.
Man City Form Guide
City have had two little blips this season, suffering back-to-back defeats in August and again in November, but have otherwise been in increasingly dominant form.
Their 2-1 win in Madrid was a fourth successive victory in all competitions and eighth in their last 10 matches.
It also saw Erling Haaland back on the scoresheet for only his second goal in six matches.
That represented something of a barren streak for the prolific Norwegian , but, having struck six goals in his last five matches against Palace , we’re backing him to net again at Selhurst Park with a brace @ 7/2.
Even if Haaland is replaced without that bet coming in, due to Sub Swap, your interest in the game would remain alive with his replacement, who was Egypt striker Omar Marmoush at the Bernabeu.
