Manchester City plans to get fourth in the Premier League table on Saturday afternoon.
The action of the weekend begins in Etihad, with the Palace aimed to extend its unbeaten run in all competitions to eight games. Oliver Glaser’s team won four of their previous five in the league and has tasted a deceased winner in Selhurst Park since February 15.
They have had a talent of rumbling title winner City outfits in recent years, and now Palace is striving to disturb a team led by Pep Guardiola who only shoots for a berth of the Champions League. The top 5 will go into the leading competition of Europe in Europe, and City lost the ground last Sunday after drawing Old Trafford.
However, the cityzens are only one point of Chelsea and Newcastle in the fourth or fifth.
Here is 90 minutes Guide for lunchtime day at the Premier League on Saturday.

Guardiola changed the tack for the derby last Sunday and decided there was no doubt that two Jeremy Doku, Savinho and Jack Grealish will be in the starting line -up on Saturday.
Nothing has changed for the hosts, which are still without Erling Haaland, Rodri, Nathan Ake, John Stones and Manuel Akanji without Erling. Oscar Bobb, who missed a large part of the season due to a broken leg, recently returned to the wrinkle and was able to earn more minutes at the weekend.
Nico Gonzalez is also ready for a recall, as is the young defender Abdukodir Khusanov.
MAN City predicted line-up against the palace (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Khusanov, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Gundoagna; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Marmoush.
The Eagles went against Brighton last week to nine men, with Marc Guehi and Eddie Nketiah both received a few yellow cards. Although it was unlikely that the latter began at Etihad, the lack of captain Guehi is a big blow.
Maxence Lacroix was great in Glasner’s three this season, but was able to miss a concussion on Saturday. The Austrian manager urgently needs Chris Richards to recover from a calf base in good time.
Jefferson Lerma filled out in Center-Back last week and has to be again viewed on Saturday, while Joel Ward can also be viewed by Glasner if Lacroix is not available.
Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucore are long -term absences.
Palace predicted line-up against Man City (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Ward, lerma, richards; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Eze, Sarr; Mateta.
Man City has slipped to sixth place, but has the chance to put Chelsea and Newcastle under considerable pressure by winning lunchtime on Saturday.
They offered little at Old Trafford last week, but should make more threats with the reintroduction of their dynamic, wide players this weekend. You will also compete against an exhausted palace defense. Visitors will sit deep with the staff they are available, contact Adam Wharton to avoid the sky blue pressure and to move away with their creators, speed stars and finishers.
Palace will cause urban problems in the transition, and the hosts can fight against a deeply lying defense in the absence of Haaland. However, the Guardiola team rarely loses on home soil, and maybe Omar Marmoush will inspire you to win an important victory.
