Manchester City set up in a 4-1-4-1, suggesting a more conservative approach — possibly targeting a point — while Crystal Palace's 3-4-3 indicates they'll look to impose themselves and play through the lines.

Verdict: Manchester City look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Crystal Palace will make it uncomfortable. Manchester City to win.
