Follow all the action from Selhurst Park
Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Patrick Vieira made two changes to the Crystal Palace side that lost 1-0 to Aston Villa last time out. Skipper Luka Milivojevic replaced midfielder Cheick Doucoure, who was sent off in that match, while Eberechi Eze made way for Jeffrey Schlupp, who returned to the starting XI after he was unavailable against Villa.
England defender John Stones returned to the Manchester City line-up for the first time since sustaining a hamstring injury in late January, in one of two changes for Pep Guardiola. Bernardo Silva was also re-introduced to the starting XI, while Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne started on the bench.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Silva has scored in his last two Premier League games for Manchester City – only once has he scored in more consecutive top-flight matches, doing so in four in a row with Monaco in April/May 2015.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Guehi manages to get just enough of a headed touch to Silva’s cross to take it away from the waiting Haaland, who timed his jump well with the initial flight of the ball. Palace continue to hold out and hang on to the clean sheet with 17 minutes left to go.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Clyne makes way for Ward as Vieira looks to freshen up his defence.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Haaland has only touched the ball 13 times today, lowest of anyone who started the match for Manchester City. Nobody who began the game has seen the ball fewer times and he is level with full-back Clyne.
