Manchester City and Crystal Palace have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of tonight’s match | OneFootball

Manchester City and Crystal Palace have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of yet another must-win Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium for Pep Guardiola’s side. City simply have to pick up three points tonight to have any chance of winning this season’s Premier League title. Arsenal are currently five points clear of City at the top of the Premier League table, although City have an opportunity to get within two points of Mikel Arteta’s side tonight. To do that, City must beat a Crystal Palace side which, on their day, can be a tough opponent to beat under manager Oliver Glasner.

Manchester City enter tonight’s match with two players in doubt for tonight’s match due to injury. They are Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov. Rodri has missed City’s past four games due to a groin injury. But Pep Guardiola told the media yesterday that Rodri has trained and could feature tonight. Abdukodir Khusanov missed City’s win over Brentford after sustaining a nasty knock against Everton. Khusanov has also trained and is a chance to play tonight, provided that he is suffering no ill effects from the knock he sustained against Everton.

Here are both team’s starting lineups for tonight’s match.
