Man City boss Guardiola: Palace will be tough

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says there'll be no underestimating Crystal Palace today.

City meet Palace ahead of traveling to Riyadh for the Club World Cup.

Guardiola said: “Always they have been tough games, so it will be a tough game.

“How they defend is brilliant, they don't need much. Set pieces with [Joachim] Andersen and the other guys, it will be a tough game.

“It always has been, I don't remember easy games against Roy Hodgson's teams, Patrick Vieira neither but especially with Roy.

“The teams are really good, they play incredibly well against Liverpool and unfortunately a player was sent off.

“[When you have] 10 against 11 it's almost impossible but 11 v 11 I don't know what's going to happen."
