Kelly 'right up' for Man City challenge

Martin Kelly has spoken with talkSPORT ahead of Crystal Palace's clash with Manchester City tomorrow, praising the league champions and saying that his Eagles side are 'right up for the challenge'.

Kelly previewed the game and explained how matches change when playing clubs from the top six of the table, suggesting that what is done with the ball in the face of inferior possession becomes even more crucial, especially for a side such as Palace who often see less of the play than their opponent.

He said: "I think the top teams when you play them you have to go in with massive respect for them and understand that they will have all the ball even if you’re playing at home.
