Crystal Palace will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Manchester City with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point.  In that game they had 26% possession and managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Manchester City who had 19 attempts and 9 on target.  

Whilst they have scored a reasonable 7 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 12 goals in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Selhurst Park.  

Crystal Palace will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Selhurst Park, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 6 games.

There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Brighton & Hove Albion players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Arsenal.  They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Arsenal's tally of 26 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 21 games; however, they've scored in 16 of their 17 games this season.  

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  

With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, João Pedro has given the travelling Brighton & Hove Albion support something to shout about on the road.
