CRI听力:Manchester City to Take on Crystal Palace in EPL

2016-01-16来源:CRI

Round 22 of the English Premier League will kick off on Saturday night with 6 games on the schedule.

Third placed Manchester City will attempt to extend their Premier League unbeaten streak to five games against Crystal Palace.

Palace comes into the match-up after 1-nil loss to lowly Aston Villa on Tuesday.

"Well they're a team that you have to demand a hundred per cent concentration because one moment, they can find a way through because they have that quality, and we expect Silva to play, Aguero.... and obviously the threat that they have off the bench even is daunting. So, we know we have to be resilient and that, and you already highlighted our away form, particularly defensively, is very sound. So they're going to find it difficult. The fact that they got a nil-nil draw against Everton will put pressure on them, to beat us. So that might help us," says Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew.

Crystal Palace currently sits 8th on the table with 31 points.

In other action, Aston Villa will be hard-pressed to find its 3rd win of the season as they take on Leicester.

Leicester is currently tied at the top of the table with Arsenal at 43-points.

Tottenham, currently 4th, is at home to Sunderland.

Bournemouth will take on Norwich.

Defending champions Chelsea take on Everton, looking to gain some separation from the relegation line.

Newcastle takes on West Ham United.

And Southampton battled West Bromwich Albion.
