The Eagles have also shown promise with a string of victories including a solid 3-0 win at Fulham and a 1-0 win over Ipswich. Despite a less impressive scrabble of results mid-season, Palace appears to be gaining momentum as they wind down the season.

Palace’s goal tally stands at 39 goals, with 35 conceded. They have battled hard, especially in away games, where they'll need to flex their muscles and put in a strong performance against the Citizens to have a chance of upsetting the odds.
