Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen says they must be fully switched on today against Manchester City.

Andersen told PLP: Man City is Man City it's always difficult. I think we have a quite good record against them. I'm not afraid of anyone. I don't think anyone in the team is afraid of anyone.

We play at home. We're in a good place, I think. Hopefully, we can get three points because at the end of the day, you go into the game to get three points and that's what we want to do."

He added: I think we have some great guys, good spirit within the team. The meaning of sticking to the plan is not to run out of your position when it's still 1-0, 2-0. You just need one goal, then you're back into it.

You need to keep focused all the time. If we do that, I know we have such a good structure, we have such a good desire to fight. To be honest, I think in most of our games we limit the teams to few chances, and also against City.

And of course they have so much quality that we need to be really ready to defend, and that's what we have to do again, to be honest."
