Manchester City faces Crystal Palace tonight, with Enzo Maresca eager to secure his second consecutive victory since stepping in for Pep Guardiola.

After a dramatic comeback last week against Bournemouth, where City scored two late goals to win 3-2, Maresca seeks a smoother match against the Eagles. Crystal Palace, under new manager Pierre Sage, is still searching for their first points of the season following a disappointing opening loss to Everton.

Key points to watch:

• Ayyoub Bouaddi may make his debut for Manchester City at Selhurst Park.
• Competition intensifies for the Moroccan midfielder, as City is reportedly pursuing a significant transfer for Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea.

As both teams aim to find their rhythm early in the season, this match promises to be pivotal for both managers as they look to establish their strategies and secure crucial points.
