LONDON (Reuters) - The side that cannot stop scoring goals hosts one that has forgotten what it feels like to see the net bulge when leaders Manchester City face rock bottom Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday. Especially considering the fact that the two previous clashes between the sides this year finished 3-0 and 5-0 to City. An away trip to the Etihad Stadium has probably arrived too early in his reign for Palace to emerge from the gloom. City's early-season pace has been matched by Jose Mourinho's Manchester United who joined them at the top with a 4-0 win over misfiring Everton last weekend -- a result which means the two Manchester clubs have identical records. United travel to ninth-placed Southampton on Saturday with striker Romelu Lukaku needing one goal to equal Louis Saha's record for the most goals scored after six Premier League appearances for United (six).
