After four EPL games without a victory, Man City got back on track by beating Luton last time out but the EPL champions are still not firing on all cylinders right now. Can Palace take advantage of that? It will be tough given their list of absentees, which includes Ebere Eze, Odsonne Edouard and Cheick Doucoure. Palace will also line up with their third-choice goalkeeper between the sticks.
Roy Hodgson knows how to set up a defense and his team will sit deep and look to frustrate City. But that is a challenge Guardiola's side have passed with flying colors on countless occasions and containing such a lethal offense is extremely difficult.
Erling Haaland could miss out through injury, but City have enough firepower elsewhere. Palace are in poor form - they have lost four of their last five matches - and if they are not careful, the London club could be on the wrong end of a thrashing.
