Pep Guardiola's side travel to Selhurst Park tonight looking to reopen their six-point gap at the top of the Premier League table.
Title contenders Liverpool continued their strong run of form with a 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend, so the ball is back in City's court. City have struggled in recent years against tonight's opponents, although most points dropped have tended to come at the Etihad — the Blues have won five of their last six played against Palace in London.
Boss Patrick Vieira, who played 28 times for City throughout the 2010-11 season, has had a noticeable impact on the Eagles. A win tonight would lift them into the top half of the table heading into the final stretch.
City's trip to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
