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
Rodri puts the ball through the legs of Lokonga and moves it to the left for Alvarez, who is promptly closed down. His nifty backheel pass for Grealish is met by Olise, whose heavy touch puts it behind for a corner.

Akanji attempts an early pass over the top of the defence from a position in his own half. Alvarez makes the run but the ball is slightly overhit, rolling comfortably to the feet of Guaita.

The substitution for Manchester City may also indicate a change of formation, with Guardiola’s side set up to switch from 4-2-3-1 to a 4-4-2. Alvarez partners Haaland at the top-end of the pitch while Grealish and Bernardo Silva play on the wings in midfield, either side of Rodri and Gundogan.
