Alan Pardew thinks Crystal Palace and Manchester City are both under pressure ahead of their Premier League meeting.
Crystal Palace will be without goalkeeper Steve Mandanda against Manchester City as manager Alan Pardew looks to put a dent in Pep Guardiola's Premier League title aspirations.
The France goalkeeper sustained a knee injury while on international duty and will be replaced by Wayne Hennessey for Saturday's match at Selhurst Park, while midfielder Joe Ledley (knock) is an injury doubt.
Pardew acknowledges Palace are going into the match under pressure after a run that has seen them earn one point from a possible 15 and knows City are in a similar situation having won just one in five top-flight matches.
