As others have said, I hate playing Palace, too. I just now see that it's an early kick-off, too.

There are some tough calls for Pep, with Madrid looming shortly after. Meanwhile, they're sitting on their asses resting up. You could argue that they lack rhythm, but at this point of the season, I'd take the rest.

This isn't an ideal game for Haaland, but we need to try to play him into better form. Could you risk resting Rodri and Foden? I'll take a wild guess:

Ortega
Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol
Lewis, Kovacic
Bobb, De Bruyne, Nunes, Grealish
Haaland

Good effort. 1/10.
 
————-Ortega———
Lewis-Dias-Akanji-Gvardiol
—-————Rodri—————-
Bernado-Kev- Foden-Grealish
————-Erling———
 
Just the usual watch out for the counter attacks, really deep defending and time wasting. Fingers crossed we will break an habit of a life time and become less wasetful in front of goal.

I may be one of the few, but the only change I would make from the Villa game is Alvarez for Haaland.

Not because I think Alvarez necessarily had as bad a performance as others contend, but because I want to see Erling “I have something to prove” Haaland out there with a more dynamic setup.

We will of course lose Alvarez’s pressing and some of the interchange up front but I think a very hungry Haaland could make up for that (whilst also creating a lot of space in front of Palace’s poor back four).

Give Kev and Stones 25 minutes in the second half whatever the scoreline for match fitness ahead of Madrid.

Agreed about Haaland, he could do with a game where he scores a couple and gets his mojo back ready for Madrid.
 
Fully expecting CP to give it %1,000 tomorrow and then return to dog-shit for their next game. Hopefully our lads will be on it from the get go.

Come on you beautiful blue boys.
 
I see Palace have all their main players back and the defensive crisis is over with only Guehi injured. Palace away, really tough fixture, I really hope wrong but I suspect we slip up today

Palace are almost safe from relegation and I'm hoping several Palace players have their minds on their summer holidays. They have become a nuisance to us over the last few years but I'm confident we'll get the win we need. And we could do with a big win to help reduce the GD.

Come on City!

I love your optimising but I'm expecting a really tough game, if we're off it we'll drop points today
