Manchester City hopes to see Phil Foden back at his best as a place at the Premier League summit beckons with a win at Crystal Palace.
Phil Foden is the talk of the town as Manchester City is out to once again take top spot in the Premier League provided it can take all three points and temporarily move above Arsenal and Liverpool on Saturday. The Citizens star produced a stellar hat-trick of goals in the 4-1 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday and is now the favorite to win this season’s PFA Player of the Year along with another potential treasure trove of trophies. Underdog Palace may have something to say about that, however, after surprising the English masses with a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium in December.

The Eagles have shown promise under new manager Oliver Glasner and appear to be closing in on Premier League safety, having won twice, drawn twice and lost twice under the Austrian’s command so far.
Coaching icon Roy Hodgson was still at the helm when the south Londoners managed to earn a share of the spoils away to City earlier this term.
Palace fought from two goals down to share the spoils at the Etihad, where Michael Olise kept his cool to convert an injury-time penalty after Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled them back into the game.
City has won 18 and drawn three of its 21 fixtures since that disappointment, with Foden in particular clicking into a new gear of late:
The England star was in top form at home to the Villans and will be chasing more plaudits when he lines up at Selhurst Park, though Pep Guardiola will have one eye on City’s upcoming commitments.
His side will soon face Real Madrid at home and away in the Champions League quarter-finals, but a trip to Selhurst is exactly the kind of banana peel that could easily be overlooked.
It helps City’s case that Glasner is dealing with a pile of injuries at present, which includes Marc Guehi, Cheick Doucoure, Odsonne Edouard and the talismanic Olise.
