Manchester City will lock horns with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this Sunday as they hope to earn all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants managed to secure a hard-fought 2-1 win away at Real Madrid recently, which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this clash. Hence, Erling Haaland will once again lead the charge for Man City<\/a> up top.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gianluigi Donnarumma will feature in between the sticks for Man City after conceding one goal in his last outing. Ruben Dias will function alongside Josko Gvardiol at the centre of Guardiola\u2019s defence as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.<\/p>\n

Nico O\u2019Reilly will fill in as the left-back, while Matheus Nunes hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the right-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the Palace half.<\/p>\n

Nathan Ake will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Phil Foden, Nico Gonzalez and Bernardo Silva will make up Man City\u2019s midfield. All three of them need to be at the top of their game if the Mancunian giants are to secure a convincing win this Sunday.<\/p>\n

Tijjani Reijnders and Rico Lewis will have to settle for a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jeremy Doku will try to shine as the left-sided wide player, while Rayan Cherki looks to weave his magic from the right flank. Both of them will be instructed to get in behind the Palace backline at every chance they can get<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland will lead the charge for the Mancunian giants up top. He would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet after managing to do so from the penalty spot against Real Madrid recently.<\/p>\n

Omar Marmoush and Savinho will make up the numbers on the bench.<\/p>\n
