City welcome Oliver Glasnerâs side to the Etihad Stadium on 13 May for a 20:00 (UK) kick-off as we aim to maintain the pressure at the top of the Premier League.
Back in May 1989, Palace were the visitors to Maine Road for a huge match as both sides chased promotion to the top-flight.
And itâs a day that will be remembered for an extraordinary performance from Cityâs Nigel Gleghorn as we secured a point that would ultimately prove crucial.
Mel Machinâs City were second in the table fighting off the challenge from the London side for the final promotion spot.
And it was a strong side that arrived at Moss Side with the deadly striking duo of Ian Wright and Mark Bright leading their attacking line.
A packed Maine Road erupted in the eighth minute when Gleghorn steered in the opening goal.
But there was a stunned silence when the teams reappeared for the second half with Gleghorn now wearing the goalkeeperâs jersey.
The article focuses on a unique instance where a goalscorer transitioned to a goalkeeper during a match.
The next match is scheduled for Wednesday night.
The encounter is significant as it showcases a rare moment in football history, adding intrigue to their upcoming match.

Andy Dibble had suffered a re-emergence of an injury picked up earlier in the season at Walsall and with no substitute goalkeeper, Gleghorn had taken the gloves.
And he was required to do so again against Palace, this time against a formidable frontline with potential promotion on the line.
Gleghorn rose to the task and made a number of good saves and collected crosses to ease the pressure on the defence.
He was eventually beaten by a fierce Wright strike with 15 minutes remaining but City held on for a crucial 1-1 draw that kept Palace at armâs length in the promotion race.
âIt was an experience I have to say,â Gleghorn said later. âTo play in front of that sort of crowd in that big a game was just mind-blowing.
âI donât think you can describe how you feel. You feel comfortable enough when youâre in your own position in a game that size when youâre really looking forward to it.
âBut when youâre thrust into a position where mistakes are so unforgiving, you realise what goalkeepers have to go through.â
Cityâs postponed clash with Crystal Palace will take place at 20:00 on Wednesday 13 May.
