Preview
Manchester City eye a return to winning ways after their mid-week exit from the EFL Cup as they lost to West Ham on penalties.
This brought an end to their four-season run as being champions of the EFL Cup.
In the Premier League, City beat Brighton 4-1 away to keep the pressure in the table. Foden led the way with 2 goals along with strikes from Gundogan and Mahrez ensuring a 6th win of the season.
This victory sent them to 3rd in the table with 20 points.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace drew their 4th consecutive match in the EPL when it finished 1-1 against Newcastle.

Benteke and Wilson scored for either side as they shared the spoils. The draw left Eagles in 15th place with 9 points from as many matches.
The Eagles haven’t kept a clean-sheet nor won a match in 5 attempts. With such a record, a clash against high-flying Man City is not what they must have wanted.
Manchester City can go to the top of the table for the time-being if they pick up three points in this clash.
Both sides met at Selhurst Park last in the EPL, where Manchester City won 2-0 with Aguero and Torres finding the back of the net.

Team News
Mendy and Torres remain out for the hosts due to disciplinary issues and injury concerns.
Eze and Ferguson continue their recoveries for Palace and are out of contention.
Manchester City possible 11:
Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne, Jesus, Foden and Grealish
Crystal Palace possible 11:
Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, McArthur, Milivojevic, Gallagher, Edouard, Benteke and Zaha
Prediction: Man City 3-0 Crystal Palace
Manchester City should gain a comfortable win in this one as they are far too strong for the Eagles.
Palace is in a rut having not won a match in 5 attempts and with a leaky defence against a pulverizing City line-up, this could get murkier.
City are favourites due to their squad depth and are expected to win.
Players to watch out for: Foden, De Bruyne, Zaha and Benteke.
