Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Crystal Palace Team News
Crystal Palace did not get off to a good start in the new Premier League season, losing their opening encounter 0-2 to Everton.
Their performance against Everton left a lot to be desired, especially in attack. The Eagles took 11 shots, of which four were on target, but they made just 14 touches in their opponents’ box.
They created four big chances all evening, and promptly missed all of them. Palace were found wanting in distribution too, enjoying just 38% success in setting up long balls and 17% in crossing. They also lost 58% of all the aerial duels they entered into with Everton.
Chadi Riad has been ruled out with an injury for the Eagles.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Manchester City (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Tomiyasu, Richards, Canvot; Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Munoz; Nketiah, McNeil; Mateta.
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City got the new season off to a good start with a convincing 2-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth. New manager Enzo Maresca will be relieved after his side were treated to a 0-3 defeat in the FA Community Shield by Arsenal.
City have now won three out of their previous five matches, losing one and drawing one. Despite trailing most of the evening to the Cherries, City were able to strike twice late in the second half to seal the deal.
Marc Guehi, asked to play in midfield despite being a defender, scored first and also had a passing accuracy of 95%. Striker Erling Haaland, meanwhile, took the most shots (5). Left-back Josko Gvardiol, who scored the second goal, also impressed with his shooting accuracy of 100%.
Savinho is ruled out with an illness for City, while Jeremy Doku has a calf injury and will not be available until September.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Gvardiol, Dias, Khusanov, Lewis; Guehi, Kovacic; Semenyo, Grealish, Foden; Haaland.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: Manchester City to win
- Odds: -167 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester City
City have been undefeated in 13 out of their last 15 away matches against Palace. Overall, across home and away, City have beaten Palace in 20 out of their previous 29 meetings. Maresca’s men have an overwhelming advantage and are expected to win by a comfortable margin.
Their form, despite their challenges in squad retention, has been far better than that of Palace. Even when playing at home, the last time Palace defeated City in the Premier League was 11 years ago, in April 2015.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Manchester City total – over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
City are expected to score more than 1.5 goals (at least two). This came true in the last three Premier League matches recorded between these teams at Palace’s home venue. City are among the most attack-minded sides in Europe, and the Eagles, who come here after conceding two goals to Everton, will not be able to stop them.
The visiting side are led by the tireless Erling Haaland, who won the Premier League’s Golden Boot award last season with 27 strikes. The Norwegian also scored seven goals in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Winger Antoine Semenyo is another major threat: he finished third in the league’s Golden Boot race last season with 17 goals.
