Football Crystal Palace vs Man City LIVE! The
Premier League title race heads south today with the capital hosting
Manchester City ’s attempt to land the first blow of the weekend, in their trip to Crystal Palace. A big win can put City top of the table, albeit temporarily ahead of
Arsenal playing Brighton tonight on the coast. Many bookmakers finally have Pep Guardiola’s side second favourites to lift the trophy after
Liverpool reclaimed the lead in midweek, despite City going unbeaten since early December in their bid to win a fourth consecutive crown. But any slip-up by the defending champions at Selhurst Park in this lunchtime match could prove decisive. Guardiola could recall Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne to his line-up whereas Palace should have Michael Olise back in their squad . Oliver Glasner is four games without a win but relegation is unlikely to be a worry for the Eagles. Follow Crystal Palace vs Man City LIVE via Standard Sport ’s match blog!

The Premier League weekend starts here as Manchester City face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. A midweek romp past Aston Villa has kept City within touching distance of top spot but they can ill-afford any slip-ups in the title race having failed to beat either of Liverpool or Arsenal earlier in the campaign. Palace, meanwhile, have failed to win in four despite a debut victory for recently-installed coach Oliver Glasner.
