Confirmed Match Officials: Manchester City vs Crystal Palace (Premier League)

The Premier League have announced that Graham Scott will take charge of Manchester City versus Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium.

Graham Scott will take charge of Manchester City versus Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Premier League Champions will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways, after rescuing a point away to Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday.

In an entertaining affair, Pep Guardiola saw his side score twice in less than four minutes, as City came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 with the Magpies.

Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva both scored in the second-half, as the Sky Blues' perfect start to the campaign came to an abrupt end.

City will be hoping not to lose any further ground to early pacesetters Arsenal, when the Blues welcome Palace to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The Blues failed to beat Patrick Vieira's side last season, suffering a 2-0 defeat at the Etihad and drawing 0-0 at Selhurst Park.

The South London side have already taken points off of Liverpool this season, and thumped Aston Villa 3-1 last weekend.

Palace face Oxford United in the Carabao Cup prior to Saturday's clash, while City play Barcelona in a charity friendly at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.

Ahead of Saturday's meeting at the Etihad Stadium, the Premier League have announced the match officials which will be involved in proceedings this weekend.
