Pre Match Thread | Palace v City

[Ric]

Palace fan here...

Your start to the season has been fantastic and at present I can't see anyone presenting much of a challenge to City, especially not the red muppets.

Just wanted to ask a question: do none of you remember what happened in this fixture last season?
;)

Ha, I remember it only too well which is why I think we're in for a very difficult game. Obviously we're much improved from last season, but then again so are you.

Is it right that you've got injury concerns too?

Rumour has it that Cabaye, Ledley and Jedi are injured but I guess we'll know more tomorrow after the press conference. What we do know is that Cabaye asked to be taken off in the France game but hopefully it was precautionary.

As you say, both teams have improved and from a Palace persepective I (along with most other Palace fans) can't believe this is a top of the table clash, we're not used to such heady heights.

Cheers mate. Cabaye and Jedinak out would be a bonus, and hopefully negate some of our injuries!

I fear a lethargic performance on Saturday with almost all our players involved in the International's. I'd settle for a draw now, 1-1.

Got to say I wasn't impressed with one of our players this last round of international fixtures. In saying that some we're dead rubber games and they probably can't wait to get back to city. Guardian says aguero and fernandinho training tommorow and are available Saturday. Fernandinho got 25 mins and aguero came on late on so they should be fine apart from the 12 hour flight.

Hope so mate, but a Sunday game would've been the ideal scenario. I should really embrace the Saturday 3pm ko though, lol.

Saturday match = more rest time before the Juventus game.
