Evening Standard
Arsenal will be looking for a better start than they have made of late in a bid to beat Southampton on their home turf in the FA Cup fourth round today.
a day ago
Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Crystal Palace's FA Cup fourth round tie with Manchester City. The only win of the Sam Allardyce era came in a cup replay at Bolton - and that was a close one at that. Pep Guardiola's men enjoyed one of their best performances of the season in the third round, hammering West Ham 5-0 in the London Stadium.
With hopes of a league title all but extinguished the FA Cup may just be the best hope for Guardiola to serve up some silverware in his debut season in England. But then we know how much Allardyce likes to spoil a party.
Scott Dann misses out today with a hamstring injury - he was due for a late fitness test but you suspect Allardyce has bigger fish to fry than the FA Cup such is Palace's Premier League predicament.
Hence we see Yohan Cabaye and James McArthur on the bench and no sign of Jason Puncheon.
However there is another start for Jeffrey Schlupp, this time as a left-back. Don't expect him to occupy that position for too long - Patrick van Aanholt should be an Eagle in time for Tuesday's trip to Bournemouth.
There's five changes to a Manchester City side where Vincent Kompany starts again. His last game of the season was at Selhurst over two months ago where he limped off in the first half after a clash with Claudio Bravo.
But all eyes will be on a formidable City frontline spearheaded by new signing Gabriel Jesus. He enjoyed a livewire eight minute debut against Spurs last week, where he was a linesman's flag away from scoring on debut. Can he open his account against a hodge-podge Palace backline.
This is the fourth time these two have met in the FA cup - Palace won one of them back in the 1921 first round but won't want reminding of their 1926 meeting. Man City won that 11-4.
Pep Guardiola says he will give Sam Allardyce a hug before pitting his wits against him this weekend. When Guardiola was unveiled as Manchester City manager last July he named-checked Allardyce - referring to him as 'The Big Sam' - as he spoke of what made English football so appealing to him. At that time Allardyce was still the manager of Sunderland, a side City were due to play in their first game of the season.
