Patrick Vieira made two changes to the Crystal Palace side that lost 1-0 to Aston Villa last time out. Skipper Luka Milivojevic replaced midfielder Cheick Doucoure, who was sent off in that match, while Eberechi Eze made way for Jeffrey Schlupp, who returned to the starting XI after he was unavailable against Villa.
England defender John Stones returned to the Manchester City line-up for the first time since sustaining a hamstring injury in late January, in one of two changes for Pep Guardiola. Bernardo Silva was also re-introduced to the starting XI, while Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne started on the bench.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Manchester City are enjoying a spell of controlled possession, knocking it from right to left looking for the weaknesses in the defence. Crystal Palace will have to remain determined and organised if they wish to see off these spells, which should come often for Guardiola’s side.

Lokonga plays an incisive pass through the lines for Olise, who keeps the ball in play and flashes a cross into the penalty area with his weaker right foot. Zaha has a swipe at the delivery but it skips over his foot, allowing Foden to claim possession.

Grealish cuts inside and drives past Clyne and Milivojevic to set up a shot from 18 yards away but he drags his effort just wide of the near post.

An early corner for Manchester City is whipped in by Foden but Andersen is first to it. The clearance isn’t definitive as the visitors manage to get the ball back in the penalty area but Rodri’s volley is parried well by Guaita, allowing the hosts to finally get it away.
