Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Joseph King | in Premier League Predictions
Matchday 27 of the English Premier League sees Crystal Palace hosting Manchester City at Selhurst Park for Saturday’s late kick-off. Despite sitting 12th in the standings, Crystal Palace remain only five points above the relegation zone as the bottom nine positions in the league remain quite congested. The Eagles have won six, drawn nine and lost 10 of their 25 matches this season for a points total of 27. They welcome a Manchester City side to town that is sitting second in the standings with a record of 18 wins, four draws and four defeats for a points total of 48. Manchester City remain five points behind leaders Arsenal and with only 12 matches remaining in the season, will need to be nearly faultless if they are to capture their third consecutive league title.

Crystal Palace - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Crystal Palace has struggled this season and it looks unlikely that they will reach last season’s points total of 48. Patrick Vieira's men are on a lengthy winless run of 10 straight matches across all competitions following a 1-0 away defeat against Aston Villa in their most recent outing. While wins have been hard to come by, Crystal Palace have at least been able to put some points on the board during this winless run as they have managed to earn a draw in six of the last eight Premier League matches. These draws include results against Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle and Brighton.
They’ll have their work cut out for them here however, as Manchester City come to town sporting a three match winning streak after their most recent 2-0 home victory over Newcastle. It’s now seven matches across all competitions since the Citizens last tasted defeat and they have managed to win four of their last five in the Premier League, scoring 13 goals over that stretch. It’s been a different story for Pep Guardiola’s side this season as the visiting team as Manchester City hasn’t come close to matching the same kind of explosive goal scoring output that it is able to achieve when playing at the Etihad. City has won seven of its 13 away fixtures in the Premier League this season compared to 11 wins from 13 at home.

Crystal Palace & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Pep Guardiola has nearly his whole squad to choose from as their only injury concern he has to deal with at the moment is the potential absence of Phil Foden. The star young midfielder could miss out for this one after appearing to reinjure his foot in the win over Newcastle.
Palace Manager Patrick Vieira will be without a few players for this one. Defensive midfielder Cheick Oumar Doucoure after picking up a red card against Aston Villa in the previous match. The Eagles will also be without Nathan Ferguson and Sam Johnstone for the welcome of the defending champions.

Our Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City has been in strong goal scoring form on their recent away trips, which contrasts to their away form earlier in the season. They’ve now scored eight goals in the last three trips and should be confident of putting a few more goals past Crystal Palace in their meeting on Saturday. Palace have taken some impressive results against top teams in recent outings but the team's inability to get a win over the line is surely starting to wear on the players. Things won’t get any easier here as they have to face off against this high-powered City side. However, we should see the hosts get on the scoresheet given the visitors propensity to leak goals this season. Our Crystal Palace vs Manchester City prediction: over 2.5 goals
