Crystal Palace host Manchester City in the Premier League tonight with Patrick Vieira’s side desperate for a win to end their dismal run of form.

The Eagles are without a win since the turn of the year and their run of 10 games without a victory has seen Vieira’s team slip towards a relegation fight.

City are meanwhile looking to close the gap to leaders Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, with the Gunners facing Fulham on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola’s side host RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the tie level after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
