Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace. The first-division clash scheduled for 7:45 a.m. ET will be held at the Etihad in Manchester and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Manchester Evening News): "We'll see [what we do with our strikers]. We'll work this week with the players that can play better in that position. We'll see what is the best position, but at the moment, we are trying to keep our mind and try to recover as soon as we can with all the players because we have no strikers."
Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock (via the Guardian): "At the moment, the lads who are in the team have got the shirts really and it's up to others to knock the door down, saying 'I'm doing this well. I should be back in the team,' which is not happening."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Limited atop the formation, Pellegrini turns to Jorge Pozo. The 18-year-old is yet to open his Premier League account and is averaging one shot per appearance.
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Hart; Clichy, Demichelis, Mangala, Zabaleta; Silva, Toure, Fernando, Nasri; Lampard; Pozo
Crystal Palace's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Speroni; Ward, Hangeland, Dann, Kelly; Ledley, Jedinak, McArthur; Bolasie, Chamakh, Puncheon
