Manchester City get to play at home again after three straight away matches; they will host Crystal Palace in the Premier League as the competition enters Match Day 10. City are eyeing top spot here, as they have 20 points, in third place, while Crystal Palace are 15th with nine points. The hosts are coming from a loss n post match penalties to West Ham United in the League Cup and getting back to winning ways will be the target here. They have the second best defence in the league and the third best scoring returns. Across all competitions though, City have only two clean sheets in six games but they’ve scored two or more in four of the last five matches. At home in the Premier League, Manchester City are unbeaten in the last five, and all these have come with clean sheets. They have four wins in the five home league games and scored 17 goals in the process. Head to head, City are ahead of Palace, with four wins and three clean sheets in the last five meetings.

Crystal Palace have no win in the last five matches and most of the blame here is on their inability to close up games when they lead. They’ve conceded avoidable goals in three of their last five matches and it is bound to get tougher against one of the top teams in the league. Palace have one win in their last 10 matches, and those have produced just two clean sheets while they’ve conceded two or more in three of the last five. Both teams have scored in Palace’s last four matches. The team goes into this clash having conceded 14 goals in the league this season and they aren’t really high scorers though there’s some consistency in scoring. Palace have no win away from home in the last seven matches, five of which ended in loses and they conceded two or more in six.
