Palace open their home campaign against a Manchester City side on track
Selhurst Park under the floodlights: City won 2-1 at home against Bournemouth in their opener, while Palace lost 2-0 away to Everton. Oliver Glasner's side must stay compact in a 3-4-2-1 and rely on Mateta on the break.
- Palace defend in a deep back five and attack with McNeil and Nketiah behind Mateta.
- City controlled their opening game, but Haaland had few clear-cut chances.
- A Friday fixture in front of a full house should be intense from the first whistle.
