Manchester City Confirmed Lineup vs Crystal Palace<\/h2>\nManchester City Team News<\/h3>\n
Stefan Ortega starts in goal behind a back line of Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Nico O’Reilly, and Josko Gvardiol. Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Savinhio, Omar Marmoush, and Jeremy Doku make up the midfield five with a mix of explosiveness and technical ability. Erling Haaland leads the line.<\/p>\n
Notable Changes<\/h3>\n
There is one change to the back line with O’Reilly coming in for Rico Lewis. The midfield is also moved around as Foden and McAtee drop out for the better dribblers in Savinho and\u00a0 Doku. There’s no natural defensive midfielder which could mean this is less of a 4-2-3-1 and more along the lines of the 4-2-2-2 where Marmoush can partner Haaland but that would be an odd fit for Doku.<\/p>\n
