GOOD MORNING
Hello SunSport readers. I hope you are all good and are continuing to wash those hands.
Also before I forget – Pinch, punch, it’s the first of the month!
But it’s not just any month, we have finally entered May which is arguably the most exciting month on the calendar in the footballing world.
Promotions happen, teams fight relegation and superior sides such as Manchester City, hope to lift trophies.
Talking about trophies, the Sky Blues have already added one to their collection this season when they completely outclassed Spurs in the Carabao Cup final even though the score line doesn’t really show it.
And City look on course to get to their first UEFA Champions League final when a monumental mid-week display against Paris Saint-Germain, earned them a 2-1 victory in the first leg.
The quadruple dreams are over but the treble is well and truly on.
However, Pep Guardiola’s men will have to re-adjust their focus to the Premier League and finish off the job but Crystal Palace is the team that stands in their way this afternoon.
Despite suffering a defeat to Leicester last Monday, the Eagles are in a comfortable spot in the table so there’s no real pressure on them to get a result.
As for City, they are a couple victories away from securing their third title in four years so it’s a completely opposite outlook for them.
All the gossip around the game, team news and the starting line-ups will be coming up shortly so stay tuned.
