As the Premier League season enters its thrilling final stretch, Crystal Palace travel to the Etihad Stadium tonight to face a Manchester City side firmly in the hunt for the title. For Oliver Glasner’s Eagles, this campaign has been a mixed bag in the league, but their remarkable run to the Europa Conference League final has injected fresh life into the season.

Fresh off their stunning FA Cup triumph over City last year, Palace are now dreaming of a second major trophy in their history. But first, they must navigate this crucial league fixture, where every player will be fighting for a spot in the Conference League final lineup.

In team news, Glasner is still without long-term absentees Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucouré. There is optimism surrounding Evan Ferguson and Borna Sosa, both back in training, but the cautious approach means tonight’s clash likely comes too soon for the duo.

All eyes will be on Jean-Philippe Mateta, who came off the bench to score in the 2-2 draw with Everton and is pushing for a starting role alongside Ismaila Sarr. Sarr has been in sensational form, becoming the first Palace player since 2004/05 to net 20 goals in all competitions in a top-flight season.

Predicted Crystal Palace XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Riad; Munoz, Hughes, Wharton, Mitchell; Pino, Sarr; Mateta.

Kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM BST on Wednesday, 13th May, with live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League from 7 PM BST. Stream the action via Sky Go or NOW.
