Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is wary of a revitalised Crystal Palace today.

The Eagles have enjoyed an upturn in fortunes under their new manager Tony Pulis.

"Playing Liverpool on Boxing Day and then Crystal Palace again 48 hours later brings different challenges and there is a lot to take account of," warned Kompany on City's website.

"As much as we would like to call ourselves favourites there will be fatigue and being the festive period, the games come thick and fast and there have already been one or two surprise results."
