Nearly Live! v Crystal Palace

So, the first of the return matches sees us at Crystal Palace.

City got the 3 points at home in late November with only 1 win since.

Can we get the full 6 that is the question.
 
Selhurst Park is very wet and a pitch inspection has been carried out by the referee and the game is on.

Fer did not look impressed when he looked at it!!!
 
GAME ON - Crystal Palace v Norwich (1500 GMT)

Mike Dean and his assistants are happy to start the match at Selhurst Park at least - the game is on. The forecast doesn't appear to suggest that the rain is going to let up though...
 
Afternoon DG

No, been a brilliant day, sunny and hot, spent time in the pool to cool off.

Getting hotter over the next 4 days hitting the low to mid 30's!!!!

 
Crystal Palace v Norwich (1500 GMT)

MOTD's Laurence Herdman at Selhurst Park: "In 21 seasons as a manager, Tony Pulis has never been relegated. Keeping that enviable record intact looked a tall order when the Welshman began his reign at Crystal Palace with a 1-0 defeat at Norwich on the eve of advent.

"But since then Pulis has galvanised his squad and the players have responded well, playing with resilience and energy. Improved performances yielded three wins in the next half a dozen matches, lifting Palace out the drop zone."
 
So Whittaker in, Turner returns from suspension, R Bennett goes back to the bench, Garrido drops off the bench, otherwise unchanged
