Manchester City vs Crystal Palace - 30/10/2021
2718
The current Premier League champions continue the defence of their title this weekend as Manchester City welcome Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium.
The hosts begin the weekend in third place on 20 points while the visitors are in 15th place on 9 points.
Manchester City come into the match on the back of a penalty shootout defeat at West Ham United on Wednesday night in the League Cup.
The loss will come as a bit of a shock to Manchester City as they had dominated the competition over the past four seasons and they will now have to give up their trophy to a new winner.
While it was disappointing to exit the competition, the final result of 0-0 means Manchester City are on a run of 5 matches without defeat inside 90 minutes in all competitions.
Their most recent fixture in the Premier League came last weekend and Manchester City recorded a good 4-1 win at Brighton, a match which many onlookers thought would be tricky for Pep Guardiola’s team.
Manchester City are currently on a run of 8 games without defeat in the Premier League. They have won 3 of their last 4 home Premier League games and have managed to score exactly 5 goals in 3 of their last 5 home league matches.
Trends show Manchester City have not suffered a loss at half time in all of their 15 most recent games in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace make the trip to Manchester having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Newcastle United in the Premier League last weekend. The Eagles opened the scoring in the 56th minute but did not hold onto their advantage for long and Newcastle United scored the equaliser 11 minutes later.
That result means Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their last 5 Premier League fixtures but they will count themselves unlucky not to have defeated Arsenal is their previous away league game.
Crystal Palace’s away form in the Premier League is poor and they have recorded just a single victory from there last 10 away trips. However, they are undefeated in 7 of their 8 most recent matches in Premier League, including 2 of their last 3 on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Manchester City are without the injured duo of Liam Delap and Ferrán Torres. Raheem Sterling is a doubt due to a back problem.
Crystal Palace are without Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson but every other player should be fit and available for Patrick Vieira.
This has the makings of being a tough afternoon for Crystal Palace and although they have the ability to find the back of the net, keeping a clean sheet is going to be difficult.
We expect to see Manchester City come out on top, scoring at least 3 goals in the process.
