Pep Guardiola's Man City simply have to win at home to Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening.

Man City have three matches remaining in the Premier League season and they must win all three and hope Arsenal slip up if they are to nick the championship trophy off the Gunners.

If City lose this rearranged contest with Crystal Palace, the Gunners will have the chance to wrap up the title with a win at home to Burnley on Monday evening, so Pep Guardiola's side know they cannot afford any mistakes this week.

Saturday's FA Cup final is looming large on the horizon for City, while Palace have the Conference League final to look forward to, but that should not stop this from being an entertaining affair, as meetings between these two sides often are.

Team news

Abdukodir Khusanov is a doubt for the Citiznes after missing the win over Brentford with a knock. Nathan Ake will likely retain his place at centre-back alongside Marc Guehi if Khusanov is not fit to return.

Josko Gvardiol and Rodri face late assessments but are classed as major doubts.

For the Eagles, Eddie Nketiah (hamstring), Borna Sosa and Cheick Doucoure (muscle) are all out, but Evann Guessand could return after a knee injury.

The stats

Man City have won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions and have scored three or more goals in four of their last seven games.

Palace have scored two or more goals in each of their last three league matches and six of the last eight meetings between these two sides have featured three or more goals.

Prediction

City have won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions and they must extend that sequence on Wednesday if they are to maintain hopes of winning the Premier League title.

And they look to be taking on Palace at just the right time, as the Eagles are winless in their last four league matches. They have a European final to look forward to and they could be forgiven for being distracted by their clash with Rayo Vallecano at the end of this month.

City also have Saturday's FA Cup final to contend with, but the Premier League is the prize they cherish most, so full focus is likely to be on this clash.

Guardiola's side have won five of their last eight meetings with the Selhurst Park outfit and they are fancied to come out on top once more in a clash featuring at least four goals.

Six of the last eight meetings have featured at least three, while City are in great goalscoring form having scored three or more in four of their last seven outings.
