City, who are are in Champions League action on Tuesday, face Crystal Palace this weekend, with Patrick Vieira’s side still winless in 2023 despite having recently taken points off of both Manchester United and Liverpool at Selhurst Park.

An Erling Haaland hat-trick helped the Blues comeback from 2-0 down to beat Palace 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium in August, with City having won just one of the last three games against the Eagles.
