Manchester City visit Crystal Palace hoping to put pressure on title rivals Arsenal by securing a vital victory and going within two points of the Gunners.

Quite simply this is a huge match for Manchester City if they want to put pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table. And here is how today's hosts line-up to take on Manchester City with Palace boss Patrick Vieira also making two changes to the team that lost against Aston Villa last weekend. Kyle Walker drops to the bench and is surprisingly joined by Kevin de Bruyne which will be a big worry to City fans. Man City control the early exchanges and win their first corner that almost ends in a goal for the visitors as Guaita makes a huge save from Rodri. Palace look outnumbered whenever they are in possession but that isn't stopping them from having a go with Olise and Zaha linking up well in the City half. This is end-to-end at Selhurst Park with City looking the more dangerous but struggling to break down the Palace defence. I have no idea how Man City aren't in front but Palace are slowly growing into this game as they attempt to find a way into proceedings. This match isn't the most captivating advert for the Premier League but City are continuing to press on in search of a crucial goal. The Palace keeper saw it late but got a strong hand to the effort. City have looked less dangerous in the last few moments while Palace are trying to mount attacks but aren't quite getting it right. Palace don't have many choices to attack but when they do they just don't look like they are clicking. And that free-kick will be the last of Foden's involvement as he subbed off for Argentina's Julian Alvarez.
