ManCity and Crystal Palace face off + Lazio and Inter Milan battle it out for the Coppa Italia crown

It’s a packed day on the pitch, with a slew of both local and international footie on our radar.

In the Premier League: Manchester City and Crystal Palace will be battling it out in a postponed Matchweek 31 fixture at the Etihad stadium at 10pm. The Cityzens are looking to close the gap on title rivals Arsenal — currently leading the scoreboard with 79 points, compared to the Cityzens’ 74. A victory for ManCity means better chances to overtake Arsenal, considering they’d have two more games left to play — and more points to potentially snatch. The match will be broadcast on beIN Sport 2.

Over in the Coppa Italia: Inter Milan and rivals Lazio will be vying for the Coppa Italia crown tonight in an anticipated final clash at the Stadio Olimpico. Just days ago, Inter Milan sent Lazio packing 3-0 in their Serie A encounter — will Lazio get their lick back? We’ll find out tonight at 10pm on MBC Shahid.
