Andros Townsend scored the pick of the bunch in a famous win for the Eagles and a similar result will severely hamper the champions' title chances.

Palace have gone from relegation candidates to an outside chance of the top 10 in recent weeks, and will be hoping to see out the season strongly and better last season's 11th-place finish.

Head to Head history and results (h2h)
Crystal Palace have won just one of their previous nine games, across all competitions, with Manchester City, but that came in their previous meeting in December.
A stunning goal-of-the-season contender from Andros Townsend helped the Eagles to an unlikely win but a repeat will prove tough against a team which, on recent average, score three goals against them per game.
