Alan Pardew - NA
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew fears Wayne Rooney's current frustration makes him 'dangerous'.
Pardew's side host Manchester United on Saturday with Rooney's performances coming under increasing scrutiny.
The England captain has scored just two Premier League goals this season and missed a penalty as United crashed out of the Capital One Cup at home to Middlesbrough in midweek.
But Pardew expects Rooney to answer his critics and says Palace will have to be on their guard.
'I think Wayne, throughout most of his career, has been at the top of the pitch or just back one in the number 10 role,' said Pardew.
'He plays both roles very well. He is at the top of the pitch now and maybe he is not getting the service he would probably want in that. I can see a little bit of frustration in him but that makes him dangerous. Rooney has proved many times, particularly when he gets criticism, that he can deliver.
'We'll be on our guard for Wayne. He's an outstanding player, he's the England captain and we'll give him the respect he deserves.'
Palace have lost their last three matches with the 5-1 reverse at City coming on the back of league defeats by West Ham and Leicester.
Injuries have hit them hard, but Pardew hopes to have the likes of Joel Ward, Connor Wickham and Marouane Chamakh back to full fitness after the international break.
'We have Manchester United and then Liverpool, so this little run is a real test,' he added.
'But I still think if a bit of fortune had gone our way we could have picked up points. There is a lot of good news in the background here in terms of the injuries we have had.
'If we can pick up some points in the next two games I'll be really happy, then we will be well set for Newcastle after the international break.
'I'm looking forward to Manchester United. It will be a great occasion. We are very proud to have them here for the third year running, it's the first time that has happened, and it's about time Crystal Palace beat United.
'It's going to be important that our fans stick with us, particularly after a couple of defeats and with the way United play.
'They lull the stadium and take the positivity out of it by keeping possession. We have to keep it bubbling along.
'If we can stay in the game until the last 15 minutes we have a chance of winning it.'
Jason Puncheon returns for Palace after missing out at City through illness but Yohan Cabaye needs a late fitness check.

Know the opposition
Crystal Palace Football Club nicknamed CPFC, and The Eagles, are a professional football club based in South Norwood, London; and were founded in 1905 at the site of the famous Crystal Palace Exhibition building by the owners of the FA Cup Final stadium, who wanted their own team to play at the historic venue. When Crystal Palace were founded, they turned to one of the biggest clubs in the country at the time, Aston Villa, to seek advice. Villa helped the club in a number of ways, not least by donating their kit. As a result, Palace's colors were originally claret and blue shirts paired with white shorts, socks tending to be claret. They kept to this formula fairly consistently until 1938. The club initially played their home games at the FA Cup Final stadium which was situated inside the grounds of The Crystal Palace, but the Frist World War saw them forced to move out, and they enjoyed a number of seasons at both the Herne Hill Velodrome and The Nest. Although Crystal Palace have never won a major trophy, they have played in the First Division for the majority of their existence, finishing 3rd once, and losing the 1990 FA Cup Final to Manchester United. Crystal Palace play their homes games at Selhurst Park, and share sporting rivalries with South London neighbors Milwall, former tenants Charlton, and Brighton & Hove Albion.
