The upcoming match against Crystal Palace is not seen as a daunting task for Manchester City, especially given the outstanding performances of Yaya Touré. The Ivorian international, known for his prowess in recovery and forward projection, has the chance to guide the Sky Blues to the top of the table in case of a misstep from Arsenal. Pellegrini emphasized the significance of finishing the year among the leading teams after the triumph over Liverpool.
Despite City’s confidence, it’s crucial to remain cautious during this festive period, as surprises are not uncommon in football. Crystal Palace, with nothing to lose, may pose a challenge. The London club anticipates the return of Marouane Chamakh, who was suspended during their victory against Aston Villa. The Moroccan international has been in good form for Crystal Palace recently.
