Crystal Palace vs Cardiff City
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace are riding high on confidence as they host Cardiff City this afternoon fresh off the back of a shock win at Manchester City.
Few if any expected Palace to trouble City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, but Roy Hodgson's Eagles secured a stunning 3-2 win as Andros Townsend scored a goal-of-the-season contender to shock the Premier League champions.
While three points against Pep Guardiola's title chasers were more than welcome after Palace's struggles this season, the win will count for little if they fail to follow it up with victory against a Cardiff side which was dismantled 5-1 at home by Manchester United.
