Pep Guardiola will be the fifth Man City manager to take charge of a Premier League match on his birthday. None of the previous four have won - Brian Horton (1995), Joe Royle (2001), Mark Hughes (2009) and Roberto Mancini (2011 & 2012).
Having triumphed 3-2 when they last visited the Etihad Stadium, Crystal Palace are aiming to secure back-to-back away league wins against Man City for the first time.
