Manchester City have only lost an away game against Norwich out of the last 10 they have visited. City have scored at least once in each of their last 15 Premier League away games, netting a total of 36 goals. Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson will be eager to grab three back-to-back Premier League wins with the hope of beating City when they host them. Jordan Ayew has been the key-man for the Eagles this season with his three Premier League goals worth six points for Crystal Palace.
