It was in 2016-17 that Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola first took the reigns in his current position. They didn’t win a trophy that season, but won at least one piece of silverware, every season afterward, up until this one. Yes, the Man City/Pep trophy streak comes to an end in 2024-25, but what an impressive and glorious run it was. Crystal Palace shocked City, as well as the rest of the football world, with that 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium yesterday. But City can’t ruminate on it for too long, and AFC Bournemouth comes to town on Tuesday night.
City need this midweek W in order to move towards clinching a top five finish/UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.

Also, all the credit in the world to Crystal Palace. This is their first major trophy, in their 120-year history, so this is a massive moment for them. In terms of projecting the lineup on Tuesday night, Mateo Kovacic was a late scratch before the FA Cup Final, with a knock of some sort.
Will he be ready for this clash?
