Manchester City vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Pep Guardiola aiming to close the gap at top of the table with win over the Eagles but hosts will have to do it without star striker Sergio Aguero who is still sidelined

Manchester City will be bidding to make it five Premier League wins in a row when they welcome Crystal Palace to the Etihad this evening.

Pep Guardiola's side looked to have got their mojo back in recent weeks and are now closing the gap to those who occupy the top three spots in the table.

However, City will be wary of today's visitors who have been somewhat of a bogey team for them in recent seasons. Roy Hodgson's side are looking for some consistency in their results, having won just once in the last seven outings, but a win at the Etihad could be the spark they need to get them back in the top half of the table.
