The penultimate match of Gameweek sees in-form Palace welcome defending champions City to Selhurst Park in tonight’s 8pm kick-off. Having won three of their last four league matches, Alan Pardew’s side will fancy their chances of breaching a backline that’s managed a single shout-out in their previous eight road trips.

For the Eagles, Glenn Murray carries the main threat after bagging four goals and an assist in his last four league matches. Alan Pardew’s attacking midfield three are all likely to pose the champions problems, too – Wilfried Zaha is looking to score for the third successive Gameweek, whilst Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie have both provided three assists in the last four.

Sergio Aguero’s domestic form has persuaded over 114,000 FPL managers to part company last week. The Argentine has a single assist in his last four but, having scored for his country in a 2-1 win over Ecuador in the international break, he’ll he optimistic of a return to form. David Silva, meanwhile, will be looking to continue the sort of displays that have harvested four goals and an assist in the last five as Manuel Pellegrini’s side attempt to close the gap at the summit to four points behind Chelsea. City welcome back Yaya Toure in one of five changes from the side that won against West Brom last time out, with Edin Dzeko handed the chance to impress alongside Aguero up top.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    If, and it's a BIG if, Aguero blanks tonight, imagine what it's going to be like on here tomorrow.

      Well I'm sure most of the talk will be on Murray.

      Everyone else will do Aguero to Rooney if not having to save subs

    Can't watch the game here in the States. How are Silva and Aguero getting along? Free falling like the rest of the City team?

      That sounds like a book title.

    1. RoysCallerAnne

      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez here 🙁

  10. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    City really can't deal with Murray

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    No stats to back it up but my theory is Dzeko has a negative impact on Aguero ( FPL points wise )

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He's better up front on his own

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Like any striker, FPL wise, I guess

  12. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    This game is a perfect example of the difference between those that watch games and those that just follow the basic stats to make their decisions.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      How so?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Murray has a goal and assist and barely deserved it, while Silva and Aguero have performed better but have nothing to show for it.

    3. whitters_2014
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Things like shots / possession / passes etc will all be in city's favour but palace have looked comfortable

  13. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    On another day, Aguero would have had a goal and assist each by now.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      *and Silva

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      On another day? You mean one where city don't play like crap?

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        No, they could have had them in the first 20 mins.

  25. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Only way Kun is scoring is if City get a penalty
