- Crystal Palace vs Manchester City - Selhurst Park 3pm GMT
- Referee: B Madley
Manchester City will hardly confront this game with much trepidation given Crystal Palace endured a miserable and pointless four-game streak between the autumn international breaks.
The hosts are further hampered by the loss of Steve Mandanda to a knee injury but, while they are intent on resurgence, this will also be a sombre occasion. Tributes are to be paid to those who lost their lives in the Croydon tram derailment, with Palace and their players having made donations to the fund set up for the families involved.
