Confirmed Line-Ups: Crystal Palace vs Manchester City (Premier League)

Manchester City travel to Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon as they take on Crystal Palace in the reverse fixture between the two teams.

City are well in the knowledge that anything other than three points in south London could severely damage their hopes of winning a third consecutive Premier League title this season.

The reigning Champions once again play before Arsenal this weekend, with Mikel Arteta’s Gunners travelling to Fulham on Sunday afternoon in the hope of retaining their five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola and his players are in a rich vein of form themselves after a relatively rocky start to the new year, now on an unbeaten run across their last seven matches since a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham at the start of February.

The last time these two teams met came at the Etihad Stadium last August, when Manchester City came from 0-2 behind to win 4-2 in a contest that also featured Erling Haaland’s first Premier League hat-trick.

Now, ahead of another much-anticipated kick-off at Selhurst Park in the Premier League title race, here is how both Patrick Vieira and Pep Guardiola line-up their respective teams!
