Crystal Palace vs Man City: Preview, team news, head-to-head
Manchester City will be hoping for a slip-up by Liverpool and Arsenal in an exciting title race as they visit Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, the struggle for a spot in the top four and the battle to avoid relegation are both intensifying.
In remarks made prior to the match, City manager Pep Guardiola expressed uncertainty about the availability of Erling Haaland and Kevin DeBruyne, who were benched during the team’s 4-1 thumping of Aston Villa in midweek. Phil Foden scored a hat-trick.
Palace, meanwhile, sits in 14th, eight points above the relegation zone. They are winless in four under new boss Oliver Glasner following a narrow defeat against in-form Bournemouth in midweek and have only picked up three points once since January.
