McPhail eyeing top-two finish

City travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday looking for a win which could move them to within five points of second place with a game in hand. "We've got two games in two days coming up with little opportunity to rest, so these are obviously going to be crucial fixtures for us", he told the club's official website. "If we can win those two games then we'll be well placed to push for one of the stop two places."
