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.

Guehi beats Haaland in a race for the loose balland receives a push in the back from the Norway international for his efforts. It’s a cynical foul from the Manchester City striker, who sent his opponent sliding to the ground with the rain pouring down at Selhurst Park.

Olise takes Palace’s first corner of the match but it’s initially met by Ake, who gets it away temporarily before following up and smashing the ball out of play for a throw.

Gundogan fires the free-kick from the right wing into the penalty area looking for Rodri, who gets his head to the delivery and forces a great reaction save out of Guaita. With Palace scrambling to clear it they get a bit of relief as the linesman raises his flag for offside.

HAALAND PUTS IT OVER! Silva plays a lovely pass into Ake inside the penalty area. With the goal to aim at the left-back instead plays it square for Haaland, who stabs an effort up and over the crossbar from close range with Guehi doing his best to put him off.

Akanji again gets forward and puts a cross towards Haaland, this time with the forward inside the six-yard box. It’s a good delivery from the centre-back but Andersen and Guehi combine to cut the connection.
