Pep Guardiola’s City have had an underwhelming season by their standards. A goalless draw against Southampton exemplified their struggles. However, the FA Cup presents a chance to end the season on a high. Kevin De Bruyne, in his final appearance for the club, will be pivotal. His record against Palace is impressive, with 16 goal involvements in 19 matches. Erling Haaland’s return to form could also be decisive.
