Manchester City and Crystal Palace meet Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League Match Day 31 fixture, with kickoff scheduled for 20:00 on Sky Sports Main Event.
City come into the match sitting second in the table with 61 points after a 3-0 win over Brentford on May 9. Palace are 14th with 39 points, following a 2-2 draw with Everton on May 10.
City's starting eleven against Brentford featured Gigi Donnarumma in goal, with Erling Haaland leading the attack alongside Rayan Cherki and Jeremy Doku. Crystal Palace lined up with Dean Henderson, Ismaila Sarr, Strand Larsen, and Brennan Johnson among their starters against Everton.
For Palace, Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucouré are listed as unavailable through injury heading into Wednesday's fixture, along with Caleb Kporha, out with a back injury, and Evann Guessand.

Crystal Palace have not lost in three straight games but have also gone two consecutive matches without a win, and they have scored in seven consecutive away matches.
Pep Guardiola holds a significant head-to-head edge over Oliver Glasner, with three wins, one draw, and one loss across five meetings. The overall series between the clubs across 75 matches leans heavily toward City, with 40 wins to Palace's 18. At the Etihad specifically, City have won 21 of 36 meetings, with Palace taking seven.
