Crystal Palace vs Manchester City. Possible line-ups and latest news standard.co.uk

Tomorrow, on April 6th, Manchester City will play away against Crystal Palace in the 32nd round match of the English Premier League. Dailysports has prepared the latest news about the match as well as the probable line-ups for both teams.

Pep Guardiola's team continues its pursuit of another English champions' title, but currently trails Liverpool by three points. Dropping points on Crystal Palace's field is categorically unacceptable for Manchester City.

As in previous matches, Pep Guardiola cannot count on his main goalkeeper Ederson, as well as right-back Kyle Walker. Versatile defender Nathan Ake has also not yet fully recovered.

In the last match against Aston Villa (4-1), the coaching staff of Man City gave a rest to their two main stars - Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. However, against Crystal Palace, both of them are likely to return to the starting lineup.

Compared to the match against Unai Emery's team, Jack Grealish and Julian Alvarez are likely to remain on the bench. The defensive quartet will remain unchanged.

As for Crystal Palace, Oliver Glasner's team faces much more serious personnel issues.

The biggest loss for the London club is their star attacking midfielder Michael Olise. The Frenchman has recovered from injury and started training, but is unlikely to be ready to start from the first minutes.

Definitely out of the game will be the main goalkeeper Sam Johnstone and another England national team player - center-back Marc Guehi. Also absent will be midfielders Mateus França, Cheikhou Kouyaté, and center-back Rob Holding. The participation of center-back Chris Richards is also in question.

Possible Crystal Palace line-up

  • Henderson - Ward, Andersen, Lerma - Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell - Ayew, Mateta, Eze

Possible Manchester City line-up

  • Ortega - Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol - Rodri; Bernardo, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku - Haaland

The match will kick off at 13:30 Central European Time.
