Pep Guardiola unfazed by the prospect of facing bogey team Crystal Palace after the Eagles stunned Manchester City in the last two seasons at the Etihad... and the visitors come into this latest clash with their form improving

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is devoting his full attention to beating Crystal Palace this weekend after two seasons of struggles against Roy Hodgson's side.

City are in good form ahead of Palace's visit to the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday having gone 14 games unbeaten in all competitions.

They have also won their last four in the league to move into strong title contention, but Guardiola is well aware of how Palace can throw a spanner in the works.

Manchester City have won four on the bounce but next face a bogey team in Crystal Palace

Palace claimed a stunning 3-2 victory over City at the Etihad in December 2018 as Andros Townsend scored a gobsmacking volley and the visitors repeated the trick with a dramatic 2-2 draw in their last game there 12 months ago as Fernandinho's own goal thwarted the hosts after Sergio Aguero had scored a late double.
