Today's match at the Etihad Stadium is exclusive to Sky Sports, showing on its Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and UHD channels. If you already have Sky Sports as part of your TV package, you can stream the game via its Sky Go app, but cord-cutters will want to get set up with a Now account and a Now Sports membership to stream the game.

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates tonight in a Premier League fixture rescheduled due to Palace’s progress in the FA Cup. Though it’s a league game on paper, its context is anything but routine. This is a contest framed not by the present table, but by what lies ahead.
