A look at the best combined XI between Manchester City and Crystal Palace ahead of Saturday’s EPL match. Who can Palace fit into this mashup?
Both clubs are looking for three points this weekend, but for very different reasons. Manchester City lost their grip on the top of the EPL table for the first time all year. While Crystal Palace are sitting just one point above the relegation zone.
Man City definitely have the advantage when it comes to both resources and overall player depth. But when we combine the best XI from each squad, which players make the lineup? Note, any injuries or suspensions are taken into consideration here.

Goalkeeper: Claudio Bravo
Yes, we admit that Bravo has not had the start to his Man City career that anyone would have liked. But he is the undisputed #1 at the club. Willy or Gunn are not going to supplant him, nor Hart return. However, Palace isn’t get into the line-up this way. Mandanda let in three against Burnley on the weekend, and hasn’t shown enough yet to keep the team out of the relegation fight. Bravo may not be the best in the EPL at the moment, but he has the potential to be.
