CRYSTAL PALACE vs. MANCHESTER CITY Live Stream FREE Online: 2014 Premier League Table, Live Coverage From London, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. The first-division clash scheduled for 11:10 a.m. ET will be held at Selhurst Park in London and can be live streamed here free.

With the Premier League title still within reach, a bit of pragmatism is being asked of Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini. Actual points are worth more than style points at this stage of title race. That, however, won't keep Pellegrini from staying true to his identity (h/t to Sky Sports). "That's why I'm here," he said. "If not maybe another manager comes here who wants to kick the ball high, trying to score just one goal and the game is over, and every week complaining about the referee," he added.

"You can gain a little advantage with some unfair play, but I don't think it's the way to do it."

"I want to be the best team of the year, to play attractive football, to be a team with character and personality and to go as far as possible in all the competitions."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: With the injury to David Silva, Manchester City's James Milner is projected to make the start for the club. The 28-year-old won't bring the same technical arsenal to the pitch as Silva, but his ability to stretch Crystal Palace with pace could prove to be the decisive tactic.

Crystal Palace's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Speroni; Ward, Delaney, Dann, Mariappa; Bolasie, Dlkgacol, Jedinak, Puncheon; Chamakh, Jerome

Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hart; Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Zabaleta; Garcia, Fernandinho; Milner, Agüero, Nasri; Dzeko
