Preliminary review and match prediction for Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Crystal Palace come into this match unbeaten in three league matches with an impressive 2-0 away victory over Wolves last Saturday.
This puts Palace in 11th place and seemingly safe now in Patrick Vieira’s first season in charge.
The only defeats Palace have suffered in recent times have come at the hands of the other occupants of the top three places, Chelsea and Liverpool and it is likely Man City will complete the trilogy.
Fresh off the capitulation of Manchester United, the Cityzens are back in league action looking to preserve at least preserve their six-point lead at the top.
Both Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez scored braces in the Manchester Derby and will be keen to get back to scoring ways after both were benched for the meaningless Champions League second leg draw against Sporting Lisbon.
Mahrez is priced at 2.05 to score anytime while De Bruyne is priced at 2.45.
Get Rich Quick
Two out of Man City’s last three league matches have had two or more first half goals, the exact same can be said for Palace.
Over 1.5 first half goals is priced at 2.3.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Team News
Nathan Ferguson and James McArthur will miss out for Palace on Monday. It is likely the Eagles will remain unchanged from the side that defeated Wolves.
Joao Cancelo faces a late fitness test as does Nathan Ake. With Ruben Dias ruled out, John Stones will likely continue to partner Aymeric Laporte in Man City’s central defence.
Possible Starting Lineups
Crystal Palace: Guaita, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Gallagher, Kouyate, Schlupp, Olise, Mateta, Zaha
Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish
Highlighted Player – Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne was unplayable against Man United last Sunday not only contributing two goals but also providing an assist for Mahrez. The Belgian is on the verge of scoring double digit figures for the league season, something he also achieved two seasons ago.
