Manchester City entertain in-form Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.
Pep Guardiola’s side are in the midst of a competitive battle to secure Champions League qualification. A goalless snooze-fest with Manchester United last weekend leaves the Citizens sixth and outside the qualification places as things stand.
PEP 💬 I’m happy with the way we [have] handled the situation where we are. The challenge is to qualify to be in the Champions League next season.
Tomorrow we have a team in incredible, top form in the last month or two months. It’s always difficult with Palace here. I admire… pic.twitter.com/Z9iYSYWLY2

City host a Crystal Palace team in fine form. The Eagles have won eight of their last 10 games in all competitions. Their 10 games unbeaten in the league is their longest of the Premier League era and Oliver Glasner’s side have also progressed to the last four of the FA Cup.
The teams could yet meet again in the final of that competition, if both progress from their semi-final ties.
