Crystal Palace v Man City Preview
Crystal Palace’s Form
Crystal Palace have been stalwarts in the Premier League since their Championship play-off victory under Ian Holloway in 2013. However, they’ve been remarkably mediocre in the league with 15 th (2015-16) being their lowest finish and 10th (2014-15) being their highest finish. They’re currently 14th and while not completely out of relegation trouble yet, one more win should do the trick.
Palace have 5 points from their last 5 league games, with their latest 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth making it 4 games without a victory for them (in competitive games) which was their 3-0 win over Burnley last February.
Palace could go further clear of those below them with a shock win in this game.

Man City’s Form
Man City have been a dominant force since their takeover in 2008 after winning their first league title in the 2011-2012 season, they have gone on to win 6 of the next 11 titles including 5 of the last 6. However, they face a mean challenge from Arsenal and Liverpool to secure another in the coming weeks.
Midweek Man City had one the toughest tests in the league right now (at least on paper) travelling to the Etihad as they look to continue their crusade for Champions League qualification. However, despite Rodri’s 11th-minute opener being pulled back by Duran in the 20th minute a hat-trick from Foden afterwards was enough to secure a huge 4-1 win in the context of their title aspirations.
A win for City would ensure they stay in touch with their rivals at the top with both sides having tough weekend clashes Arsenal (Brighton away) and Liverpool (Man United away).

In 31 matches in all competitions this season he has 9 Goals and 5 Assists. He has 3 Goals in his last 5 Premier League games and skill, pace and composure to cause City some struggles
Phil Foden – Man City
The Manchester maestro (23) is tremendously versatile playing across all four positions in the front four this season Making him a key cog in the Guardiola side. Foden’s hat trick against Aston Villa took his total for the season to a phenomenal 21 goals and 10 assists from 44 games.
Crystal Palace v Man City Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-3 Man City
Palace have been a mainstay in the Premier League for over a decade now, but still aren’t quite clear of relegation, especially with City, Liverpool, Newcastle and Man United in their last 8 games.
Nothing but a win will suffice for City as they look to keep the pace in the Premier League title race, but I suspect they should be far too good for this Palace side.
Best Bet: Man City Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 11/10
