Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: live tv and kick-off time for delayed Premier League match

The Premier League title race could take a dramatic turn this Wednesday 13 May at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City, now the only team capable of stopping Arsenal from lifting the championship, face Crystal Palace in a rescheduled 31st-round fixture. A win would bring Pep Guardiola’s side to within two points of the Gunners, with just two matchdays remaining—but defeat would likely dash their hopes of retaining the crown.

Why this match matters for Manchester City’s title ambitions

City’s campaign hit turbulence earlier this month, when a 3-3 stalemate against Everton saw them surrender control of the league. Their recovery at Brentford last weekend—a commanding 3-0 win—suggests a resurgence, fueled by Erling Haaland’s 26th Premier League goal of the season and a standout performance from Jérémy Doku, the Belgian winger who has become a late-season revelation.
